There are \[8\] paintings in the museum. There are \[24\] statues.

There are \[\Box\] times as many statues as paintings in the museum.

**Which equation will help us find the unknown \[(\Box)\] number?**

Choose 1 answer:

(Choice A)   

\[24\times \Box = 8\]

A

\[24\times \Box = 8\]

(Choice B)   

\[\Box\times 8 = 24\]

B

\[\Box\times 8 = 24\]

(Choice C)   

\[\Box\times 24 = 8\]

C

\[\Box\times 24 = 8\]

The problem is asking for the relationship between the number of statues and the number of paintings. Specifically, how many times more statues than paintings there are.

You are given:
- 8 paintings
- 24 statues

The phrase "There are \[\Box\] times as many statues as paintings" translates mathematically to:

\[\Box \times \text{{number of paintings}} = \text{{number of statues}}\]

So, if there are 8 paintings and 24 statues, the correct equation is:

\[\Box \times 8 = 24\]

This corresponds to **Choice B**.
