Answer 1

What math operation means to exceed (make more)?

Answer 2

i think so

Answer 3

And for (B) What operation do you think you'll need to use there if it's 550km for each of h hours?

Answer 4

(By operation, I mean: +, -, ×, ÷)

Answer 5

Can i draw a picture for you?

Answer 6

cliff: multiplication?

Answer 7

and ariellllllll so how do i solve that

Answer 8

Right. (For part B)

Answer 9

There is nothing to solve. It is merely asking for a representation / an expression.

Answer 10

@CliffSedge but i dont know what im supposed to write...i have to show work

Answer 11

Yes, so length = 2x + 3

Answer 12

unless it told you the area or perimeter, I really can't help you there, darling. Sorry. But I suppose you would just draw what I did?

Answer 13

thanks ariel!!!! @CliffSedge im so confused on what i have to write

Answer 14

What if it was 550 km per hour for 2 hours, how could you find the distance?

Answer 15

550 x 2

Answer 16

so its just 500h?

Answer 17

Right, but it said that it was for h hours. It's using h to represent any number. If h=2 then it would be like you wrote, but since it's just h, do the same thing but with h instead of 2.

Answer 18

Yes, distance = 550h.

Answer 19

thanks guys!
