Chapter 1.8, Problem 44PPE

To determine

To Find: The equation and solution from the options below:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{A 8}\times \text{n}=120;n=15\\ \text{B }8\times 120=n;n=960\\ \text{C 8}+n=120;n=112\\ \text{D }\frac{8}{n}=120;n=\frac{1}{15}\end{array}$

Answer to Problem 44PPE

The required option is $\text{A 8}\times \text{n}=120;n=15$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

1 package contains 8 hot dog buns.

Total hot dog bun to be packaged 120.

Calculation:

Let n be the number of package required.

Since 1 package contains 8 hot dog buns.

Therefore n package will contain $8n$ hot dog buns.

Total hot dog bun to be packaged 120.

  $\Rightarrow 8n=120$

Divide 8 on both sides and Simplify

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{8n}{8}=\frac{120}{8}\\ \Rightarrow n=15\end{array}$

Equation is $8\times n=120$

Solution is 15
