Multiplicative Comparisons

Introduction

Welcome back Mathematicians!  We have seen several situations in which comparison has been used.  WE use comparisons to look at sizes of objects, to describe relationships between items, and numbers. Today, we are going to explore the differences between additive comparisons or how much more does one have than another, and multiplicative comparisons, how many times more.  This lesson’s target for you mathematicians are as follows: I can interpret equations as multiplicative comparison. I can represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparison as an equation.
