HELP!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its what i need help on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What variable would you like to assign for the hawk's score?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What letter would you like to use to represent hawkeyes in your equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And how many more times did the canopy score relative to the hawks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand what you mean by that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It actually states in the problem, that the canopy scored # times as many as the hawks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm simply walking you through the process so that you can apply it to future problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude obviously it's h=c/5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is only multiplication and addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@YelhsaZ It's obvious to us since we understand but mariah doesn't understand so it's better to walk through the process and there are not division options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the cices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem states that the canopy's scored 5 TIMES AS MANY POINTS as the hawkes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what kind of help u need ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"times as many" usually refers to multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I understand. Apparently my computer wasn't loading the bottom half of the first picture.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if h is how much the hawkes scored, what do you do with the 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50*5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No because 50 represents how much the canopys scored

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe if I rephrase my question it'll help? If the canopys scored 5 TIMES AS MANY POINTS as the hawkes (h) and that score = 50, how do you set up the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 times what equals 50?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x10=50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what does that 10 represent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice, so you can use what you know to find the correct equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means h=10 and its 50=5x10 (thats how it looks in the picture)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, but since the problem isn't asking you to solve for "h" you can just leave it as "h"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I GOT IT RIGHT :D:D:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait its asking me how many points did the hawkeyes score

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Well done @jaeuni and @MariahDimond

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@FibonacciChick666 Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ten :D
