### A good answer might be:

Five! The `la` instruction is translated into two machine instructions, and F10 is pushed once for each.

# SPIM Run

Here is a run of the program. The SPIM listing shows the two machine instructions that the assembler used for the `la` pseudoinstruction in this context. (The assembler uses different machine instructions in different contexts.)

Look carefully at the two instructions that SPIM used for `la`. They both use register $1.

### QUESTION 18:

In the register table. what is the mnemonic name for register `$1`?
