To find out how many times as many worms the jar holds compared to the cup, you can divide the number of worms in the jar by the number of worms in the cup.
Given:
- Number of worms in the jar = 72
- Number of worms in the cup = 8
Now, perform the division:
\[ \frac{72}{8} = 9 \]
The jar holds 9 times as many worms as the cup.
