Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

Devon has 80 books to pack in boxes she packs 20 books in each box how many boxes does she need? Write an equation using the letter n to stand for the unknown factor explain how to find the unknown factor

Answer:

The equation to find the number of boxes is
`20n=80`.

Devon needs 4 boxes to fill the books.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Number of books = 80

Number of books in each box = 20

We need to find the number of boxes required to fill the books.

Solution:

Let the number of boxes be 'n'.

Now we know that;

Total Number of books is equal to Number of books in each box multiplied by number of boxes.

framing in equation form we get;

`20n=80`

The equation to find the number of boxes is
`20n=80`.

Now from above equation to find the unknown factor 'n' we need to divide Total Number of books from Number of books in each box.

`n =(80)/(20)=4`

Hence Devon needs 4 boxes to fill the books.
