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 [tex]20n=80[/tex].
Devon needs 4 boxes to fill the books.
Step-by-step 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;
[tex]20n=80[/tex]
The equation to find the number of boxes is [tex]20n=80[/tex].
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.
[tex]n =\frac{80}{20}=4[/tex]
Hence Devon needs 4 boxes to fill the books.
