A jar at the fishing shop holds 72 worms. A cup holds 8 worms. How many times
as many worms does the jar hold than the cup? Choose the equation that best
represents the problem.
72 = 8= t
72 x 8 = t
72 – 8=t
72 +8=t

Answer:

9 times. 72/8=t or 72=8t.

Explanation:

I'm afraid the answer choices are slightly mixed up, but acceptable answers would probably include 72/8=t or 72=8t. Simply put the two numbers into a fraction (72/8) to get how many times larger or smaller the thing is. In this case, it would be 9 times as many worms.

The equation that best represents the problem is 8t = 72.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation only has one or two variables. It is an algebraic equation in which each term has an exponent of one. The graphing of the equation results in a straight line.

For the given situation,

A jar at the fishing shop holds 72 worms and a cup holds 8 worms.

The number of times the jar can hold the cup,

⇒ [tex]\frac{72}{8}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]9[/tex]

The equation for the above situation can be represented as

⇒ [tex]8t=72[/tex]

But, there is no option matching the above equation.

Hence we can conclude that the equation that best represents the problem is 8t = 72.
