The Library of Congress in Washington D. C. Is considered the largest library in the world. They often receive boxes of books to be added to their collection. Since books can be quite heavy, they aren't shipped in big boxes. If, on average, each box contains about 8 books, how many books are received by the library in 6 boxes, 10 boxes, or n boxes? Use the space below to tell me how many books are received in: 6 boxes = 10 boxes = n boxes = (Hint: Write an equation!)

The number of books in 6 boxes =  48

The number of books in 10 boxes = 80

The number of books in n boxes = 8n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Each box has contains about 8 books.

Total books : (Number of books in each box) x (Numbers of boxes).

Then, the number of books in 6 boxes = 8 x 6 = 48

Similarly,

The number of books in 10 boxes = 8 x 10 = 80

The number of books in n boxes = 8n

Hence, The number of books in 6 boxes =  48

The number of books in 10 boxes = 80

The number of books in n boxes = 8n

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

the answer is 40.
