but she was right because 1 divide 4 is 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Really, 1w=4 means w=4 so 1x4=4 or 4=1=4 so thats what makes 1w=4 thats like saying 1(4) = 4 because you get that say result because it's 1.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right
OpenStudy (anonymous):

1w means multiplying 1 with w.. When we multiply 1 with some variable, we get same variable..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You have to right the equation 1w w = ? 1w = 4 w= 4 or sum like that you get it now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[1w = 1 \times w = w \; \; \; \; itself\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Exactly water, thats what you do because 1(4) = 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This is hard to explain because im only in 6th grade D:
