If he puts 2 pages in a section, how many sections will he have in his book? Select the expression that represents the problem above. a) 200 = 20 = 2 b) 200 x 20 x 2 c) 200 20 x 2 d) 200 x 20 = 2

Answer 1

The total number of hockey cards is 200

The number of cards on a page is 20.

The number of pages in a section is 2.

Let there are x number of sections in a book. So number of cards on the x sections should be equal to total number of cards.

Determine the number of cards on the sections.

`20*2* x`

The total number of hocker card is equal to 200. So equation is,

`200=20*2* x`
