Question

What is an expression for the total cost of feeding h horses?

Answer 1

Let's say the cost to feed each horse is $5.00.

The expression would be written as:

(5.00)h or simplified as 5h

This is because you are multiplying the cost for feeding each horse by the amount of horses, represented as h.

If you are feeding 6 horses you would substitute the h for 6 giving you the expression:

5(6)

which equals $30 total.

Hope this helps and have a nice day! :)
