A science packet has 6 pages. A reading packet has 8 times the number of pagan science packet. Which equation shows the total number of pages the reading pack has? A \( 48-8 \times 6 \) 8. \( 48-8 \times 6 \) C. \( 45=3 \times 6 \) D. \( 42=8 \times 8 \)

To find the total number of pages in the reading packet, we need to multiply the number of pages in the science packet by 8, since the reading packet has 8 times the number of pages as the science packet. The science packet has 6 pages, so the equation to find the number of pages in the reading packet is: \( \text{Number of pages in reading packet} = 8 \times \text{Number of pages in science packet} \) Substitute the number of pages in the science packet (6) into the equation: \( \text{Number of pages in reading packet} = 8 \times 6 \) Now, let's calculate the result: \( \text{Number of pages in reading packet} = 48 \) So, the correct equation that shows the total number of pages the reading packet has is: \( 8 \times 6 = 48 \) The correct answer is not listed in the options provided. The correct equation should be: \( 8 \times 6 = 48 \)
