To find the number of bean bags \( b \) in the instructor's box, we can set up the equation based on the information provided:
Since there are 13 clowns and each clown receives 5 bean bags, the total number of bean bags can be expressed as:
\[
b = 13 \times 5
\]
Now, let's solve this equation for \( b \):
\[
b = 65
\]
Therefore, the number of bean bags in the instructor's box is \( 65 \) bean bags.
