A. multiply by 35
B. add 35
C. divide by 35

Answer 1

To find \( n \), the number of cans of food the supermarket has donated after \( w \) weeks, you would use the rule of multiplying by 35.

The relationship can be expressed as:

\[ n = 35 \times w \]

So, if you input \( w \) (the number of weeks), you get \( n \) (the total number of cans donated).

The correct answer is:

A. multiply by 35
