Question

Select the equation that represents the problem. Let × represent the unknown number. Mr. Patterson bought 104 crayons for his class. The crayons came in pack of 8. How many packs did he did he buy?A. 104× = 8B. × + 8 = 104C. 104 - × = 8 D. 8× = 104

Answer 1

name the variable

`x=\#\text{Packs he bought}`

construct the equation

Since it has 8 crayons per pack, it should multiply the x

`8x`

that should be equal to the amount of crayons he has

`104=8x`
