Question

Translate this sentence into an equation. The product of 8 and Vidya's height is 144. Use the variable v to represent Vidya's height.

Answer 1

If we call Vidya's height v, then the product of v and 8 is 144. This translates to

`8v=144`

The left-hand side of the equation gives the product of 8 and Vidya's height. The right hand side says that this must be equal to 144.
