a) Rewrite each number using Japanese spacing and then count the digits.
89034582367121 = digits
8904358239121 = digits
When two numbers have the same number of digits, we can compare the numbers by looking at the first
digit that is different, starting from the left. Example: 764,322 769,303
9. Underline the left-most digits that are 10. Circle the larger number in each pair. First count
different and then circle the larger number the digits. Then, if necessary, look for the left
in each pair. most digit that is different.
11. In the number 36, the 3 is worth 30 and the 6 isworth 6, so the 3 isworth 5 times as much as the 6.
How many times more is the first bold digit worth than the second?

to be greater than, less than, or equal to 5 to make the equation true?
a) 3n plus 2 = 20 b) 5n plus 6 = 26
3(5) plus 2 = 17 is less than 20. 5(5) plus 6 = blank is blank 26.
So n should be greater than 5. So n should be blank 5.
c) 2n plus 3 = 13 d) 4n plus 3 = 27
2(5) plus 3 = blank is blank 13. 4(5) plus 3 = blank is blank 27.
So n should be blank 5. So n should be blank 5.

In an expression, the number that is multiplied by the variable is called the coefficient.
Some expressions have more than one variable. Each variable has its own coefficient. In the
expression 3a plus 7b plus 5, the coefficient of a is 3 and the coefficient of b is 7.
In an expression, the quantity without the variable is called the constant term because it does
not change.
a) Write an expression for the cost of renting skis to go skiing for h hours. _________________
d) What does the variable in your expression represent? Circle the correct answer.

5. Write an equation to show that the two expressions you circled in Question 4 always
have the same answer. blank = blank
To verily that an equation is true, calculate both sides and make sure they both equal the same number.
a) a multipledby (b plus 2) = a multipledby b plus a multipledby 2 b) a multipledby (b plus 3) = a multiplied by b plus a multiplied by 3
3 multiplied by (5 plus 2) 3 multiplied by 5 plus 3 multiplied by 2
= 3 multiplied by 7 = 15 plus 6
= 21 = 21
c) a multiplied by (b plus 4) = amultipledby b plus a multiplied by 4 d) a multiplied by (b plus 5) = a multiplied by b plus a multiplied by 5e) a multiplied by (b plus 6) = a multiplied by b plus a multipledby6.
