Hailey bought 14 boxes of donuts. There were 8 donuts in each box. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many donuts Hailey bought? \(?\)

\(14 \, \times \, 8 \, = \, x\)

\(x \, \times \, 8 \, = \, 14\)

\(14 \, \times \, x \, = \, 8\)

In a sloth sanctuary there are 117 sloths and they hang out in groups of 13 per tree. Which equation will tell us how many trees have sloths in them? \(?\)

\(117 \, \div \, 13 \, = \, x\)

\(117 \, \times \, 13 \, = \, x\)

\(13 \, \div \, 117 \, = \, x\)

\(x \, \times \, 117 \, = \, 13\)

\(117 \, \div \, 13 \, = \, x\)
