Answer:

44 = 4 · g OR g · 4 = 44

Explanation:

So first we need to know what a variable is...

A variable is an unknown number in a math sentence

Knowing that we can write the equation.

"44 is the product 4 and Greg's height. Use the variable g to represent Greg's height"

Since we do not know Greg's height that is what we will use variable g to substitute it.

"44 is the product 4 and g"

Now all we have to do is convert this into an equation

(Note: Whenever you see product of something know that it means that you need to multiply)

So your final answer is...

44 = 4 · g

(Explanation: Since it says 44 is the product of then it means it is the answer so we will put an equal sign)

Hope this helps :)
