The correct comparison sentence that best represents the equation
6x^7=42 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.

Answer: 42 is 6 times as many 7.

Explanation:

The best sentence represents the equation:


6* 7=42

is "42 is 6 times as many 7".

As we know that 6 times as many 7 means product of 6 and 7 and we get 42 as our result.

So, last option is correct.

But on the other hand,

7 is 6 times as many as 42 means


7=6* 42

and

6 is 7 times as many as 42 means


6=7* 42

So, both of the above is wrong representation according to our equation.
