The document describes multiplication problems to model changes in the number of sophomores taking mathematics at Union College over different time periods. It provides multiplication problems for the change over the next 4 years (-80), 5 years ago (100), the next n years (-20n), and n years ago (20n). Each problem is based on the information that the number decreases by 20 students each year.

To write:
A multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores taking
mathematics at Union for the change over the next 4 years.
<!--</TO-DETERMINE>-->
<!--<ANSWER>-->
Solution:
A multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores taking

20  4    80
mathematics at Union for the change over the next 4 years is .
<!--</ANSWER>-->
<!--<EXPLANATION>-->
Explanation:
Given:
The number of students taking sophomore mathematics at Union College has been
decreasing at the rate of 20 per year for many years. It is assumed that this trend
continues.
Calculation:
The number of students taking sophomore decreased in 1 year is 20 .
The number of students taking sophomore decreased in 4 years is 20  4  80 .
Therefore, a multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of
sophomores taking mathematics at Union for the change over the next 4 years is

20  4    80
.
Conclusion:
Hence, a multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores

20  4    80
taking mathematics at Union for the change over the next 4 years is .

To write:
A multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores taking
mathematics at Union for situation 5 years ago.
<!--</TO-DETERMINE>-->
<!--<ANSWER>-->
Solution:
A multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores taking
20  5   100
mathematics at Union for situation 5 years ago is .
<!--</ANSWER>-->
<!--<EXPLANATION>-->
Explanation:
Given:
The number of students taking sophomore mathematics at Union College has been
decreasing at the rate of 20 per year for many years. It is assumed that this trend
continues.
Calculation:
The number of students taking sophomore 1 year ago were 20 more than this year.
The number of students taking sophomore 5 years ago were 20  5  100 more than this
year.
Therefore, a multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of
20  5   100
sophomores taking mathematics at Union for situation 5 years ago is .
Conclusion:
Hence, a multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores
20  5   100
taking mathematics at Union for situation 5 years ago is .

To write:
A multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores taking
mathematics at Union for the change over the next n years.
<!--</TO-DETERMINE>-->
<!--<ANSWER>-->
Solution:
A multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores taking

20  n    20n
mathematics at Union for the change over the next n years is .
<!--</ANSWER>-->
<!--<EXPLANATION>-->
Explanation:
Given:
The number of students taking sophomore mathematics at Union College has been
decreasing at the rate of 20 per year for many years. It is assumed that this trend
continues.
Calculation:
Over the next n years, the number of students would decrease by 20n .
Therefore, a multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of
sophomores taking mathematics at Union for the change over the next n years is

20  n    20n
.
Conclusion:
Hence, a multiplication problem that describes the change in the number of sophomores

20  n    20n
taking mathematics at Union for the change over the next n years is .
