### In the lessons

In everyday life, families who rent pay rent to the landlord every week or month; the landlord should fix problems such as leaks. In maths, rent problems ask how much is paid in total: rent × number of months. In stories, a pub landlord serves drinks. Phrases: the landlord, pay the landlord, pub landlord.
