A T-shirt costs 4 times as much as a pair of socks. A T-shirt costs $16.
If s = the cost of a pair of socks, which mathematical sentence expresses the information above?
s/4= 16
16s= 4
s/16 = 4
4s= 16

Answer 1

To express the relationship between the cost of the T-shirt and the cost of the socks mathematically, we start with the information given:

1. A T-shirt costs 4 times as much as a pair of socks.
2. A T-shirt costs $16.

This can be expressed as:

\[
16 = 4s
\]

Or rearranging this:

\[
4s = 16
\]

So the correct mathematical sentence that expresses the information above is:

**4s = 16**.
