Each floor of a hotel has r rooms. On 8 floors, there are a total of 256 rooms. Write an equation to represent this situation.
Answer: \(8r =256\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Each floor of a hotel has r rooms.
Then, Total number of rooms in 8 floors will be:-
8 x Number of rooms in each floor
Total number of rooms in 8 floors = 8r (1)
Also, On 8 floors, there are a total of 256 rooms.
⇒ \(8r =256\) [from (1)]
Hence, the equation represents the given situation will be :-
\(8r =256\)
