I think its D) d divided by 8 equals thirty-two, although, B) seems correct as well

D

anonymous · Answer

It's D, yeah 

If you attach "units" to to the numbers it can make it a little more cleasr.

d = Total number of dolls
32 = dolls / niece
8 = Nieces

$$ \frac{8 \ \  nieces}{1} \frac{32 \ dolls}{niece} = d \ \ total \ \ dolls $$

8 * 32 = d
