Help with maths question

1 minibus = 12x 1 seats
2 minibus = 12x 2 seats
3 minibus = 12x 3 seats
M minibus = 12x m seats

Write an expression, in terms of m, for the number if seats in m minibuses?



Help with this question please!

 

Wouldn't it just be

S=12m

Where S=seats and m=minibuses

 

That dosen't seem right :/ Im not sure how to work it out...

 

I have no idea if you are right, but thank you!

 

its right lol think about it. the answer is obviously number of buses times the number of seats per bus.

 

This is correct.

If you incorporate the answer into one of the examples you gave;

2 minibus = 12x 2 seats = 24 seats

so using the equation, 12m, 12 X 2 = 24. It gives the correct answer. Test it on the other examples you will see it always works.

 

I´m good in math but here my brain smelt down and i want ask what ?
