Question

I don’t get it.. can anyone help?

Answer 1

Hello there,

Basically you look at each word problem and come up with an equation:

1. it says that the boys are 5 times more than girls. So we use b to represent boys and g to represent girls and you would get 5b + g
2. the number of feet is 12 times more than the number of inches. So we use i to represent inches and f to represent feet and you would get i = 12f
3. in this equation f represents Fabian and l represents Luis so you would get 12 + f
4. for this one you would get 1.5i = o
5. Monica represents m and Lisa represents l so you would get (m - 5.6) = l
6. 2w = l where w is the width and l is the length

Hope I helped,

Answer 2

1. g x 5 = b

2. f x 12 = in

3. luis' miles x 12 = fabian's miles

4. input x 1.5 = output

5. monica's weight - 5.6 lbs. = Lisa's weight

6. width x 2.5 = length
