The correct comparison sentence that best represents the equation
is "42 is 6 times as many 7." Option c is the right choice.
This statement accurately conveys the relationship between the numbers involved.
When we multiply 6 by 7, we are essentially adding 6 sevens together. The result, 42, represents the total value of 6 sevens.
The other two statements, "7 is 6 times as many as 42" and "6 is 7 times as many as 42," are both incorrect.
The first statement implies that 7 is somehow larger than 42, which is not the case. The second statement implies that 6 is somehow a multiple of 42, which is also not the case.
Therefore, the only accurate and consistent statement is "42 is 6 times as many 7." It correctly describes the relationship between the numbers in the equation and aligns with the concept of multiplication.
Option c is the right choice.
