D) 9 = 18n

Answer 1

The equation that relates the number of gifts that Keisha and Abdul wrapped is 18 = 9n

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation that relates the number of gifts that Keisha and Abdul wrapped, we need to first determine the relationship between the two.

It is stated that Keisha wrapped 9 times as many gifts as Abdul.

Let n be the number of gifts Abdul wrapped.

Keisha wrapped 18 gifts, so we can write the equation as:

Keisha's gifts = Abdul's gifts x 9

18 = n x 9

Therefore, the correct equation that relates the number of gifts that Keisha and Abdul wrapped is 18 = 9n, which is option D.
