Question

Translate this sentence into an equation. 120 is the product of Helena's age and 8. Use the variable h to represent Helena's age.​

Answer 1

8h = 120

Explanation:

The product refers to multiplication, represented by 8h (or, 8 times h, Helena's age). This is stated to equal 120, thus the = 120.

As a bonus, dividing by 8 on both sides gives you h = 15, which shows that Helena is 15 years old.
