Write an equation to represent each situation:
1)Juanita has 102 beads to make n necklaces. Each necklace will have 17 beads.
2)Craig is c years old. His 12-year-old sister Kaitlin is 3 years younger than Craig.
3)Kim rented skates for h hours. The rantal fee was $2 per hour and she paid a total of $8.
THX!
1) The equation to represent the situation is:
17 * n = 102
2) The equation to represent the situation is:
c - 3 = 12 (where c represents Craig's age)
3) The equation to represent the situation is:
2 * h = 8
1) Let's represent the number of necklaces Juanita can make with the variable "n". Since each necklace will have 17 beads, the total number of beads used for all necklaces can be calculated by multiplying the number of necklaces by 17. So the equation will be:
Total number of beads = n * 17
2) We know Craig's age is represented as "c" and Kaitlin's age is 3 years younger than Craig's, so we can represent Kaitlin's age as "c - 3". The equation to represent this situation is:
Kaitlin's age = Craig's age - 3
3) The number of hours Kim rented the skates is represented by the variable "h". The rental fee for each hour is $2, and the total amount she paid is $8. We can set up the equation as:
Total amount paid = Rental fee per hour * Number of hours
$8 = $2 * h
17*n = 102
c-3 = 12
Like that. Now you do #3.
17*n=98
c-3=12
