Question

Sarah’s neighbor offers to pay her $5 for every shark tooth she finds on the beach. After collecting only three shark’s teeth, Sarah decides to share the opportunity with her friend John. Sarah can find shark teeth twice as fast as John, but she can earn even more money with his help. (direct answer please)

Answer 1

Do you have something I could possibly look at to help you? or is that just the question?

Answer 2

Yeah that's just the question

Answer 3

Your teacher you had you work on this, is confusing. But I'll help as much as I can.

Answer 4

alright thank you!

Answer 5

So, $5 per tooth, and she's found 3 teeth. multiply that, and how much do you get?

Answer 6

15

Answer 7

Sorry, are we looking for an equation?

Answer 8

Or a number?

Answer 9

Well

Answer 10

The topic is equivalent expressions

Answer 11

So an equation I think?

Answer 12

Okay, given the info we have, 5 teeth per tooth, which was 3 teeth found, she found them twice as fast as her friend, so what equation should we have from that? I'll let you put what you think, and help you out a bit more if it's incorrect.

Answer 13

Alright so 5x3 = 15 So that's how much her friend found and if we multiply 15x2 we'd get 30 which is twice as the amount she got right?

Answer 14

If we are looking for an equation as an answer, It's should be something like this A*B+Cx

Answer 15

So would that be the equation?

Answer 16

Two numbers multiplied and a missing value

Answer 17

yeah, pretty much, so what would the equation be?

Answer 18

I'm gonna go with AxB = Cx 2 = D Two numbers multipled equals a number times two equals a number
