Question

Bill says the equation 600 equals 12×50 means 600 is four times as many as 50 Sarah says the equation means 650 more than 12 who do you agree with explain

Answer 1

Answer:

  neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation means that 600 is twelve times as many as 50 (not four times). Bill needs to rethink the meaning of "four" relative to the meaning of "12".

__

"650 more than 12" is an expression (12+650), not an equation. Sarah seems to be clueless.

__

Neither Bill nor Sarah have described the meaning of the equation.
