Let's analyze each statement based on the given value of \( c = 12 \):
-
"c is 5 times as many as 4."
- Calculation: \( 5 \times 4 = 20 \)
- Since \( c = 12 \), this statement is false because \( 12 \) is not equal to \( 20 \).
-
"27 is c times as many as 3."
- Calculation: \( c \times 3 = 12 \times 3 = 36 \)
- Since \( 27 \) is not equal to \( 36 \), this statement is false.
-
"6 times as many as c is 72."
- Calculation: \( 6 \times c = 6 \times 12 = 72 \)
- This statement is true since \( 72 = 72 \).
-
"8 more than c is 15."
- Calculation: \( c + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20 \)
- Since \( 20 \) is not equal to \( 15 \), this statement is false.
Summary:
The only true statement is "6 times as many as c is 72."
