A jar at the fishing shop holds 72 worms. A cup holds 8 worms. How many times

as many worms does the jar hold than the cup? Choose the equation that best

represents the problem.

72 = 8 = t

72 x 8 = t

72 - 8=t

72 + 8=t

8t=72 T=9

9 times. 72/8=t or 72=8t.

Explanation:

I'm afraid the answer choices are slightly mixed up, but acceptable answers would probably include 72/8=t or 72=8t. Simply put the two numbers into a fraction (72/8) to get how many times larger or smaller the thing is. In this case, it would be 9 times as many worms.
