Mieko has 4 times as many pencils as Holden. Holden has 8 pencils. How many pencils, p, does Mieko have? Use the drop-down menu to complete the comparison sentence. (1 point) p is 4 Choose 8.

Answer 1

To find out how many pencils Mieko has, you can use the information given:

Holden has 8 pencils, and Mieko has 4 times as many. So, the calculation for Mieko's pencils (p) would be:

\[ p = 4 \times 8 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ p = 32 \]

Now you can fill in the comparison sentence:

p is 4 times 8.

So the completed sentence is:

p is 4 times 8.
