Full solution

Q. Pick the story that can be modeled by the equation 8x=248x = 24.\newlineChoices:\newline(A)At a Memorial Day barbecue, Jared cooked xx hotdogs and 88 times as many hamburgers. He cooked 2424 hamburgers.\newline(B)At a Memorial Day barbecue, Jared opened a package of 2424 hotdogs and cooked xx of them. He wrapped up the remaining 88 hotdogs and put them back in the cooler.
  1. Understand the equation: Step 11: Understand the equation given and what it represents.\newlineThe equation 8x=248x = 24 suggests that one quantity is eight times another quantity, and their product is 2424.
  2. Analyze choice (A): Step 22: Analyze choice (A).\newlineIn choice (A), Jared cooked xx hotdogs and 88 times as many hamburgers, totaling 2424 hamburgers. This fits the equation 8x=248x = 24, where xx represents the number of hotdogs, and 8x8x represents the number of hamburgers.
  3. Analyze choice (B): Step 33: Analyze choice (B). In choice (B), Jared opened a package of 2424 hotdogs and cooked xx of them, then put 88 back in the cooler. This scenario does not fit the equation 8x=248x = 24 because it doesn't involve multiplying xx by 88 to equal 2424.
