Question

Jose solves for n using comparative relational thinking. Select all the statements that accurately describe solving for n using comparative relational thinking.

A) Since 22 is 52 less than 74, then 'n' will be 52 less than 62.
B) Since 18 is 4 less than 22, then 'n' will be 4 less than 62.
C) Since 22 is 52 less than 74, then 'n' will be 52 more than 62.
D) Since 74 is 52 more than 22, then 'n' will be 52 more than 62.

Answer 1

Comparative relational thinking involves comparing two numbers to determine the value of a variable. Statement A says that since 22 is 52 less than 74, 'n' will be 52 less than 62. Statement D says that since 74 is 52 more than 22, 'n' will be 52 more than 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements that accurately describe solving for n using comparative relational thinking are A) Since 22 is 52 less than 74, then 'n' will be 52 less than 62 and D) Since 74 is 52 more than 22, then 'n' will be 52 more than 62.

Comparative relational thinking involves comparing two numbers and using their relationship to determine the value of the variable, in this case, 'n'.

In statement A, we know that 22 is 52 less than 74. So to find the value of 'n', we subtract 52 from 62, which gives us 10. Therefore, 'n' will be 10.

In statement D, we know that 74 is 52 more than 22. So to find the value of 'n', we add 52 to 62, which gives us 114. Therefore, 'n' will be 114.
