This document contains a lesson on writing and evaluating expressions involving multiplication and division. It includes examples like calculating the number of apples in bags containing 3 apples each, or the amount of money returned from recycling cans with a $0.05 deposit. For each example, students are asked to write expressions in terms of variables like the number of bags or cans, and evaluate the expressions by substituting values. The lesson emphasizes that when the number of groups like bags or cans is given, multiplication is used, but when the total number in all groups is given, division is needed. An exit ticket assessment is assigned to conclude the lesson.

e. How is part (d) different from part (b)?
Part (d) gives the number of apples and asks for the number of
bags. Therefore, we needed to divide the number of apples by 3.
Part (b) gives the number of bags and asks for the number of
apples. Therefore, we needed to mulply the number of bags by
3.

Part (d) gives the amount of money and asks for the
number of cans. Therefore, we needed to divide the
amount of money b 0.05. Part (c) gives the number
of cans and asks for the amount of money. Therefore,
we needed to mulply the number of cans by 0.05.
e. How is part (d) different from part (c)?

that shows the cost of the rides?
c. Use the expression to find out how much money 60 rides would
cost.

Part (d) gives the amount of money and asks for the
number of rides. Therefore, we needed to divide the
amount of money by the cost of each ride ($2.50). Part (c)
gives the number of rides and asks for the amount of
money. Therefore, we needed to mulply the number of
rides by $2.50.
e. How is part (d) different from part (c)?

4. A pendulum swings though a certain number of cycles in a given me. Owen
made a pendulum that swings 12 mes every 15 seconds.
a. Construct a table showing the number of cycles through which a pendulum
swings. Include data for up to one minute. Use the last row for C cycles, and write
an expression for the me it takes for the pendulum to make C cycles.
