Module 06: Project Option 1

Instructions

Sarah’s neighbor offers to pay her $5 for every shark tooth she finds on the beach. After collecting only three shark’s teeth, Sarah decides to share the opportunity with her friend John. Sarah can find shark teeth twice as fast as John, but she can earn even more money with his help.


Sarah can use the expression 5(2j + 3 + j) to represent the amount of money they can
earn.


Part 1: Writing Expressions




1. Write an expression that looks like Sarah’s expression: 5(2j + 3 + j). Replace the coefficients so that your expression is not equivalent. You may use any number that you choose to replace the coefficients. Be sure to leave the variables the same. For example, 8(3j + 7 + 3j) looks like Sarah’s expression but is not equivalent.


2. Translate the new algebraic expression you created in Question 1 to a verbal expression

Answer 1

25(10j + 18 + 5j)

I'm just going to make up names for you (they may or may not be my dogs names)

Skuttle offered to pay his sister Izzy $25 for every four leaf clover she finds in the woods. Izzy finds 18 clovers but decides to get Roxxi's help. Izzy finds clovers twice as fast as Roxxi but they will over all make more money together.

the number to the left in my case the 25 is how much money they're getting paid (which will be multiplied by how many clovers they'll find). Person A finds twice as much as Person B (10/2 = 5). and the number in the middle of the parenthesis is how many Person A found by themselves. hope this makes sense
