Question

Debra bought 20 books. Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul. Let b be the number of books Adbul bought. Write an equation that relates the number of books they bought. Use 20, 5, and b​

Answer 1

Answer:

5b = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Abdul bought b books and Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul, then 5b represents the number of books Debra bought. Since we know that Debra bought 20 books, we can write an equation to represent that: 5b = 20.

(Abdul bought 4 books in that case)
