Jennifer bought 12 postcards at a yard sale.Frieda bought 8 times as many postcards.
write an equation that can be used to find N , the number of postcards that frieda bought
Just multiply 12 my 8. Since we have the ammount of postcards Jennifer has, the second sentence simply tells us that we need to multiply it by 8 because Frieda had 8 times the ammount as Jennifer did.
