Someone just asked the same question haha!

So basically what you’re going to do is solve for X.
8 times X = 70.
To get X by itself, you divide both sides by 8.
So you have X = 70/8.

Now assuming your teacher prefers a decimal, you’d convert that to 8.75 annnnd because it’s days, you’d round to 9.

Hope this helps!
