Liz has 72 stamps in her stamp collection. Risa, who just started her collection, has 9 stamps. Liz’s collection is how many times larger than Risa’s? Choose the answer that has the correct equation AND the correct solution to the equation.
9x = 72; x = 8 times as many stamps
9 + x = 72; x = 63 times as many stamps
9x = 72; x = 7 times as many stamps
72x = 9; x = 8 times as many stamps
