Question

Write a real-world situation of your own and a VARIABLE expression to go with it.
FOR EXAMPLE:
If Mr. Jackson earns $1000 for every used car he sells and $2000 for every new car he sells, how much would he make if he sold "u" used cars and "n" new cars? 1000u+2000n

Answer 1

One possibility: think of a situation with buying or selling. Maybe you can make an equation with that?

Answer 2

i can maybe come up with a situation with some help, but i cant do an equation. sorry i suck at this.

Answer 3

First, what's the situation. And simple is good...

Answer 4

idk what the situation is, i gotta come up with on and i have ben trying for a while now.

Answer 5

how about Chrystal asked for help (h) every 15 minutes (m). How much help did she ask for in one hour?

60/m = h
would that be right ?

Answer 6

Did you ever buy something for people: "Hey guys, the donuts are on me..."

Answer 7

that looks like a start. "help" is not something easily counted. How about questions? You can count questions.

Chrystal asked a question every 15 minutes.
How many questions did she ask in one hour?

Answer 8

4

Answer 9

The question asks for a variable expression. You have a specific question, with only 1 answer (4)
Can you change your question to make it more open ended?

Chrystal asked a question every 15 minutes.
How many questions did she ask in x hours?
