Question
LaTricia wrote a sentence as an equation.
Twelve is the product of three and a number.
12 w = 3
Which statement best describes LaTricia’s work?
LaTricia is not correct. The word product does mean to multiply, but 12 should be the product and 3 should be one of the factors.
LaTricia is not correct. The equation should show that 12 times 3 equals w.
LaTricia is correct. The word product means to multiply and the equation uses multiplication.
LaTricia is correct. The sentence and the equation both contain 12 and 3 in the same order.

The correct statement that best describes LaTricia's work is:
**LaTricia is not correct. The word product does mean to multiply, but 12 should be the product and 3 should be one of the factors.**
In her equation, 12 w = 3 does not accurately reflect the statement. The sentence indicates that 12 is the product of 3 and a number, which should be represented mathematically as \(12 = 3 \times w\) or equivalently \(w = \frac{12}{3}\). In her equation, the relationship is not correctly stated.
