Kevin has 16 oranges. John has 8 times as many oranges as Kevin. Which equation below answers how many oranges John has? (y = number of John's oranges)

Answer 1

To find out how many oranges John has, we can set up the equation based on the information given.

Kevin has 16 oranges, and John has 8 times as many as Kevin. The equation to represent the number of oranges John has (y) can be written as:

\[ y = 8 \times 16 \]

So, the equation that answers how many oranges John has is:

\[ y = 8 \times 16 \]

If you calculate that, you would find that \( y = 128 \). Thus, John has 128 oranges.
