Which equations represent the comparison statement "63 is how many times as much as 9"? Choose all that apply.

A. [tex]63 = \qquad \div 9[/tex]
B. [tex]63 \times \qquad = 9[/tex]
C. [tex]\qquad \times 9 = 63[/tex]
D. [tex]\qquad \div 63 = 9[/tex]
E. [tex]63 \div 9 = \qquad[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which equations represent the statement "63 is how many times as much as 9," we need to find an equation that shows 63 is a multiple of 9.

We know that [tex]\( n \times 9 = 63 \)[/tex]. Solving for [tex]\( n \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ n = \frac{63}{9} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ n = 7 \][/tex]

Thus, 63 is 7 times as much as 9. Let's evaluate each equation option:

A. [tex]\( 63 = \qquad \div 9 \)[/tex] is incorrect because it does not define the relationship.
B. [tex]\( 63 \times \qquad = 9 \)[/tex] is also incorrect because 63 multiplied by any number does not equal 9.
C. [tex]\( \qquad \times 9 = 63 \)[/tex] is correct because [tex]\( 7 \times 9 = 63 \)[/tex].
D. [tex]\( \qquad \div 63 = 9 \)[/tex] is incorrect; dividing any number by 63 should not result in 9 here.
E. [tex]\( 63 \div 9 = \qquad \)[/tex] is correct because [tex]\( 63 \div 9 = 7 \)[/tex].

So, the correct equations are:

C) [tex]\( \qquad \times 9 = 63 \)[/tex]

E) [tex]\( 63 \div 9 = \qquad \)[/tex]
