Question

White a multiplication equation and a division equation that compare the number of points derek acored durin game 1(x) to the number of points derek scored during game 4 (y)

Answer 1

The correct question is:

The graph attached shows the number of points Derek scored

during his first five basketball games.

Write a multiplication equation and a division equation that compare the number of points Derek scored during Game 1 (x) to the number of points Derek scored during Game 4 (y).

Answer:

Multiplication equation is y = 3x

Division equation is x = y/3

Step-by-step explanation:

During Game 1, Derek had 6 points

Let x be this point, that is

x = 6

During Game 4, he had 18 points

Let y be this point, that is

y = 18

Notice that he has three times as many point in Game 4 as he had in Game 1. (Because 18 is 6 × 3)

This can be written mathematically as

18 = 6 × 3

y = x × 3 (where y is 18, and x is 6)

y = 3x (this is multiplication equation)

If you divide both sides by 3, we have

x = y/3 (this is the division equation)
