Question

if marcus sent 2 packages, they would each include \square bars of soap and 6 toothbrushes. 2 packages × ? = 36 bars of soap 2 packages × ? = 24 toothbrushes an error has occurred. please enter a number.

Explanation:

Step1: Solve for bars of soap per package

We know that \(2 \times \text{bars per package} = 36\). To find the number of bars per package, we divide both sides by 2. So, \(\text{bars per package} = \frac{36}{2}\).
\(\frac{36}{2} = 18\)

Step2: Verify toothbrushes (already given as 6, and \(2\times6 = 24\) which matches)

Answer:

18
