Mark has 10 pens. Kate has 5 times an many pens as Mark. Which equation below answers how many pens Kate has? ( y = number of Kates pens )

Question

10 = 5 x y

10 = 5 + y

y = 5 x 10

y = 10 divide by 5

Answer 1

To determine how many pens Kate has based on the information provided, we know that Kate has 5 times as many pens as Mark. Since Mark has 10 pens, we can express this relationship as:

\[ y = 5 \times 10 \]

So the correct equation that answers how many pens Kate has is:

\[ y = 5 \times 10 \]

This means Kate has 50 pens.
