Part A:
To find out how many children are going to the museum, we can multiply the number of SUVs by the number of children in each SUV.
Let's say the total number of children is represented by C, and the number of SUVs is represented by S. The number of children in each SUV is given as 4.
So, the equation that can be used to solve the problem is C = 4S.
Part B:
In Part A, we found that the equation C = 4S represents the number of children going to the museum when there are S SUVs.
If there are 9 SUVs instead, we can substitute S with 9 in the equation to find the new number of children going to the museum.
So, C = 4(9) = 36.
Therefore, if 9 SUVs go to the museum instead of 8, the number of children going to the museum is 36.
