Answer 1

To find out how many pencils Mieko has, we can first determine how many pencils she has based on Holden's amount.

Holden has 8 pencils, and Mieko has 4 times as many:

\[ p = 4 \times 8 = 32 \]

So, Mieko has 32 pencils.

Now we can complete the comparison sentence.

p is 4 times 8.

So the completed sentence would be:

p is 4 * 8 (overall comparing).
