Exercise 4 Page 3

Suppose we have $10 and we want to determine how many $2 candy bars we can buy. An equation can help us with this calculation. We want to know how many candy bars we can buy with $ 10. We know that each candy bar costs $ 2. $ 2 * x=$ 10 Since 2* 5= 10, we can buy 5 candy bars. x= 5 Please note that this is not the only answer. Everyday life is full of these type of situations! Writing down an equation can help us with these calculations.
