Question

There are s students in the art club. Each member painted 3 pictures for the art show. Write and expression that shows the number of pictures the club painted.

Answer 1

Answer: 3s

You multiply the two items together.

For instance, if there were 10 students and each painted 3 pictures, then we'd have 10*3 = 30 pictures total. In this case, the "10" is replaced with a more general term "s" as a placeholder.
