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.

Verified Answer :

8r=256... so 32 rooms per floor.

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 :-

\(8r =256\)
