Let the cost of the soft drink = C then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C
And
C + 3.5C = Total Cost
C + 3.5C = 9
4.5C = 9 divide both sides by 4.5
C = 9/4.5 = $2.00 for the soft drink
And 3.5C = 3.5(2.00) = $7.00 cost of the sandwich

<span>To acquire knowledge, thought is a fundamental necessity
-It must be "thought about" before any new ideas can be formulated (e.g., a student who is learning English as a second language must be competent in his primary native language before he can "think" or understand new concepts in another language)
-Initial emergence of language and thought are separate from each other, until about the age of 3 when a transition takes place in the child from the external to the internal
-Children practice private speech (self-talk) to become more competent
---The use of private speech helps children to self-regulate through organizing, guiding, and controlling their behavior
---Private speech is responsible for all higher levels of mental functioning
Noam Chomsky
Language Acquisition
-Language learning is innate
-Chomsky believes that children are prewired to learn language and that infants have a language acquisition device (LAD) built-in neurologically so that they can intuitively understand grammar
-There is a critical period when children find it easy to learn language
Language development milestones: Infant (0-12 months)
-Early vocalizations are spontaneous sounds of cooing (vowels) or crying
-Then babbling sounds (phonemes) begin with sounds more like patterned speech with consonant-vowel strings ("da-da-da-da")</span>
