JAEUNI HELP!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is my second question

OpenStudy (dayakar):

otto score=8 pepe=32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i already know that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's very similar to how we solved your first problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, choose a letter to represent otto (most likely "o") and the problem is asking If Pepe scored 4 TIMES AS MANY POINTS as otto (8 points) what does that = to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol actually you don't even need to assign a letter to represent otto....just plug and chug

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it right :) its 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOUR THWE BEST!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THE*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imqwerty (imqwerty):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's your next question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imqwerty (imqwerty):

Cmon ask (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would never ask you you dont halp me you regekt me when i ask for help or when i need it. if i was in trouble i would die becase you said no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does the 21 mean in the problem?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

Top right is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w1 it is h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, so 21 represents h which is how many points hagar scored

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again, it's basically what we've been doing so far but this time working backwards.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

backwords?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

scratch that...I think that'll just confuse you ok so if 7 x n = 21, what do you think n is referring to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nelson's points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, so then what do you think the 7 is indicating in the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nelson?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jae

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if i tried 7/21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you said that n= nelson's points and if 7 is being multiplied to "n" what does that mean *hint remember "times as many"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it means 7*21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember your first question when canopys scored 5 TIMES AS MANY POINTS as hawkes and that = 50? we had set up the equation as 5 x h = 50 right? so then in "n" = nelson's points what does 7 x n = 21 mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am stuck now i got confused when you asked what 7*n=21 ment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what did 5 x h mean in your first problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it meant "5 times as many points as h" if you were to switch 5 with 7 and h with n, what does 7 x n mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7*5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me rephrase if 5 x h means "5 times as many points as h" what does 7 x n mean?

OpenStudy (dan815):

7 times as many points as n

OpenStudy (dan815):

am i right :>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there are 7 n's?

OpenStudy (dan815):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks dan, you're the man :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as you can see, it's very similar to how we've been solving your questions so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i feel stupid for taking so long to understand

imqwerty (imqwerty):

Its ok (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not a problem, as long as you get it in the end :)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

(:
