4 socks  = 1 pair of jeans
2 jeans = 3 shoes
6 shoes = 1 coat

1 pair of jeans = 4 socks...so 2 jeans = 8 socks
so now we have 8 socks = 3 shoes.
if 3 shoes = 8 socks, then 6 shoes = 16 socks
so 16 socks = 1 coat
so 64 socks = 64/16 = 4 coats <===

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that:-

  • 4 socks  = 1 pair of jeans
  • 2 jeans = 3 shoes
  • 6 shoes = 1 coat

The number of the coats will be calculated as follows:-

1 pair of jeans = 4 socks...so 2 jeans = 8 socks

so now we have 8 socks = 3 shoes.

if 3 shoes = 8 socks, then 6 shoes = 16 socks

so 16 socks = 1 coat

so 64 socks = 64/16 = 4 coats

Therefore the number of coats to be exchanged will be 4. The correct answer is option A.
