Writing Expressions

Question 11 • Math 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Does his scenario match the expression? Explain.

Answer

Answer:

No, Jerome’s scenario does not match the expression. The expression s/4 - 16 represents 16 less than the number of songs divided by 4. Jerome used the word 'times,' which indicates multiplication (4s) rather than division. He should have said the number of songs divided by 4, or one-fourth of the songs.
