Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 5 packages and each contains 80, we are basically doing 80+80+80+80+80 (5 TIMES) which is referred to as 80×5=400

Answer 2

Answer:

1 package contain 80 sheets of paper.

If there is 5 packages, there will be 'x' sheets of paper.

We replace the sheets of paper with 'x', because the value of x is unknown.

Now we set up the equation:

Sheets               80                 x

__________   _________ = _________, solve for x;

Packages           1                   5

80/1 = x/5

*5        *5

400 = x
