Answer:

Mieko has 32 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M be Mieko's number of pencils, and H will be Holden's number of pencils.

"Mieko has 4 times as many pencils as Holden."

Can be written as:  M = 4H

"Holden has 8 pencils."  

Can be written as H = 8

We know that M = 4H, and now that H = 8, therefore:

M = 4*(8)

M = 32 pencils

I don't see the drop-down choices, but this numbers should point to the correct choice.
