Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is $p*8=56$

Step-by-step explanation:

The neighbors buy a number of packs (p) of hot dogs and each one has 8 hot dogs. To calculate the number of hot dogs resulting we have to multiply the packs (p) by the number of hot dogs in each pack (8), this is:

$p*8=56$

Then to calculate p we have to clear it:

$p=\frac{56}{8} =7$

The number of packs bought were 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

56 divided by 8 would equal p.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find how many packs there are, it would be 56 divided by 8 would equal p.
