Answer:

C. 6 times as many as c is 72

Explanation:

You want to know if c = 12, which statement is true.

We can substitute 12 for c in each expression and write it as a math equation. That makes it easier to see if it is true.

A. c is 5 times as many as 4

12 = 5×4

12 = 20 . . . . . false

B. 27 is c times as many as 3

27 = 12×3

27 = 36 . . . . . false

C. 6 times as many as c is 72

6×12 = 72 . . . . . TRUE

D. 8 more than c is 15

8 + 12 = 15

20 = 15 . . . . . false
