Complete question is
Carl bought 7 packs of pencils. He now has 42 pencils. He writes that 42 is 6 times as many as 7. Which comparison sentence below can he use to
show the comparison?
A. 7 more than 6 is 42.
B. 7 is 6 times as many as 42.
C. 42 is 7 times as many as 6.
D. 6 is 7 times as many as 42
Solution -
It is given that Carl has 42 pencils.
It is not sure in which pack - the one with 6 pencils or the one with 7 pencils.
But when Carl wrote that "42 is 6 times as many as 7". By this he means that the present number of pencils i.e 42 is equal to 6 times the number of pencils in the pack of 7
Then, it becomes clear that Carl has 6 times the number of pencils in the pack of 7 pencils
Option B is correct
