Question

Yuan wrote 17 letters to friends each month for x months in a row. Write an expression to show how many total letters Yuan wrote.

Answer 1

D 17x
This is because you’re not adding or subtracting months from your 17 letters. So cross A and C out. And you’re not dividing the number of letters by months. So cross B out. You’re left with D and this is correct because 17 letters EACH month. EACH is telling us that you multiply 17 and x.
