There are 3 times as many books in the town library as there are in the school library. The town library has 2,676 books. How many books are in the school library? Which of the following is a multiplication equation that can be used to find the number of books in the school library? (1 point) Responses 2,676×b=3 2,676 × b = 3 3×2,676=b 3 × 2,676 = b 2,676×3×b 2 , 676 × 3 × b 3×b=2,676

Answer 1

To find the number of books in the school library, we can represent the number of books in the school library as \( b \). According to the problem, the town library has 3 times as many books as the school library. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

\[ 3b = 2,676 \]

To find \( b \), we can also express it as:

\[ b = \frac{2,676}{3} \]

However, for the multiplication equation that can be used to find \( b \), we rearrange to find that:

3 × b = 2,676

Thus, the correct multiplication equation is:

3 × b = 2,676.
