Question

Drag each number, variable, or operation to the correct location on the expression. Each item can be used more than once, but not all items will be used.
Lila has c cups of juice. Miren has times the number of cups of juice as Lila. Helena has of a cup of juice less than Miren.

Create an expression that will represent the number of cups of juice Helena has.

Answer 1

Let's break down the information given:

1. Lila has \( c \) cups of juice.
2. Miren has times the number of cups of juice as Lila. This means Miren has \( k \times c \) cups of juice, where \( k \) is the multiplier indicating how many times Miren has more than Lila.
3. Helena has \( m \) of a cup of juice less than Miren. This means Helena has \( k \times c - m \).

Based on this information, we can create the expression for the number of cups of juice Helena has:

**Expression for Helena's juice:**
\[
k \cdot c - m
\]

To summarize, if you have the defined operations and variables:
- \( c \): Lila's cups of juice
- \( k \): Multiplier for Miren's cups relative to Lila's
- \( m \): Amount less than Miren that Helena has

The final expression for the number of cups of juice Helena has is \( k \cdot c - m \).
