Question

The yearbook committee can fit 1 student picture in one inch of a
row. If there are eight 6-inch rows on each page, write an expression
for the approximate number of pictures that can fit on p pages

Answer 1

If one picture can fit within one inch of a row, and there are eight 6 inch rows on each page, then we know that six pictures can fit on each row. Furthermore 8 * 6 = 48 pictures can fit on each page. If we let p = the number of pages in the yearbook, then the expression for the approximate number of pictures that can fit on p pages is:

 

48 * p or 48p
