Question

Kala wrapped 48 gifts. Kala wrapped 6 times as many gifts as Juan. Let n be the number of gifts that Juan wrapped.

Answer 1

8 gifts.

Explanation:

If Juan wrapped n gifts, then Kala wrapped 6n gifts because Kala wrapped 6 times as many gifts as Juan.

And we know that Kala wrapped 48 gifts, so we can set up an equation:

6n = 48

To find the number of gifts Juan wrapped, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:

n = 48/6

n = 8

So Juan wrapped 8 gifts.

Answer 2

Juan wrapped n gifts.

Kala wrapped 6n gifts. (because she wrapped 6 times as many gifts as Juan)

Kala wrapped 48 gifts in total (as stated in the problem)

So, 6n = 48

n = 8 (by dividing both sides by 6)

So, Juan wrapped 8 gifts.
