Question

Write and solve the equation and then check your answer.

The product of 6 and a number is $7.80.

Check all the true statements.
This is a multiplication problem.
The correct equation is 6s = 7.80.
The correct equation is 7.80s = 6.
The solution of the equation is s = $1.30.
The solution of the equation is s = $0.77.
Check the solution by substituting the value for s and simplifying.

Answer 1

Okay so what do you think you should choose if it says 6 multiplied by a number is $7.80?

Answer 2

um multiply

Answer 3

Yes so 6*x-or in this case s- is equal to $7.80. So based on that that gives you one answer because we know 6*s and 6s is the same thing right?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

So which one would we choose?

Answer 6

a and b

Answer 7

I think

Yes it'd be A but why would it be B?

Answer 9

"Product" implies division and it says "product of 6 and a number", not 7.80.

Answer 10

Multiplication* not division ;-;

Answer 11

oh ok

Answer 12

Okay so next thing we do is find the solution. We do this by secluding s from the 6. Because the relationship between 6 and s is multiplication- like we said before- we would divide 6 from both sides to find our answer.

7.80/6=?

Answer 13

it is 1.3

Answer 14

Yes! Good job. So s would equal 1.3. So you would choose that one and "The correct equation is 6s = 7.80." :)
