5) You have some packs of gum. In each pack, there are 6 pieces of gum. a) Write an equation to represent the total pieces of gum. b) If Bill buys 4 packs of gum, how many pieces does he get (use your equation)? ) Write an equation and describe a situation that represents it.

Answer 1

### a)

### b) 24 pieces### c) Situation: Sarah earns

e = 15h$

Answer 2

## Step 1: Defining Variables### Let 'p' represent the number of packs of gum and 'g' represent the total number of pieces of gum.## Step 2: Writing the Equation### Since each pack contains 6 pieces, the total number of pieces of gum ('g') is equal to 6 times the number of packs ('p'). This can be represented by the equation:

.## Step 3: Calculating the Number of Pieces for 4 Packs### Substitute

into the equation:

. Therefore, Bill gets 24 pieces of gum.## Step 4: Creating a Situation and Equation### Situation: Sarah earns

15) multiplied by the number of hours ('h'). This is represented by the equation:

.
