Question

Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends 4 rungs on the ladder, he stops to see how much farther he has to go. If Yan made 8 stops with no extra steps, which expression best shows another way to write the product of the number of ladder rungs that Yan climbed?
A: 4+4+4+4
B: 8+8+8+8
C: (-1)(4+4+4+4)
D: (-8)+(-8)+(-8)+(-8)

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. 8 + 8 + 8 + 8, OR 4*8
Each time he descends 4 rungs on the ladder, he stops to see how much farther he has to go, AND HE STOPS 8 TIMES, SO correct answer is 8*4 = 32
