Question

Carl used some fabric to make a seat cover. Then he used 8 times as much fabric to make a tent. He used 24 yards to make the tent. Write an equation

Answer 1

8x = 24

Explanation:

`x = \text{The fabric he used to make the seat cover}`

Then, since he used 8 times as much fabric to make the tent then

`\text{Fabric needed for the tent} = 8x = 24`

Therefore your equation would be
`8x = 24`
