Answer:

a) The equation can Nina use to find how many times as many papers she delivered the second week as the first week is given as:

8x = 32

b) Nina delivered 4 times as many papers the second week as the first week

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

Nina delivers newspapers.

In the first week, she delivers 8 papers.

In the second week, she delivers 32 papers.

Let x represent the number of times

The equation can Nina use to find how many times as many papers she delivered the second week as the first week is given as:

8paper Ă— x = 32 papers

8x = 32

Solving for x

8x = 32

x = 32/8

x = 4 times

Therefore, Nina delivered 4 times as many papers the second week as the first week
