Carl bought 7 packs of pencils. He now has 42  pencils. He writes that 42 is 6 times as many as 7.  Which comparison sentence below can he use to

show the comparison?

A. 7 more than 6 is 42.

B. 7 is 6 times as many as 42.

C. 42 is 7 times as many as 6.

D. 6 is 7 times as many as 42

Solution -

It is given that Carl has 42 pencils.

It is not sure in which pack - the one with 6 pencils or the one with 7 pencils.

But when Carl wrote that  "42 is 6 times as many as 7". By this he means that the present number of pencils i.e 42 is equal to 6 times the number of pencils in the pack of 7

Then, it becomes clear that Carl has 6 times the number of pencils in the pack of 7 pencils
