To write the sentence "212 fewer than the product of k and 320 is 52" as an equation, you can follow these steps:
1. Express "the product of k and 320" as k * 320.
2. The phrase "212 fewer than" means subtracting 212 from the expression obtained in step 1.
3. Finally, set this expression equal to 52 to form the equation.
Putting it all together, the equation becomes:
k * 320 - 212 = 52
This equation represents the statement "212 fewer than the product of k and 320 is 52" in mathematical form. It shows that when you take the product of k and 320 and then subtract 212 from that result, the answer is 52.
