1. To find the expression for the total number of video games that Ethan and Kyle have, we need to consider the given information.
Let's start by representing the number of video games Ethan has as "v".
Kyle has one-third as many video games as Ethan, so we can express the number of video games Kyle has as (1/3)v.
Additionally, Kyle has "m" more video games. So, we can add "m" to the previous expression to represent the total number of video games Kyle has as (1/3)v + m.
To get the total number of video games that Ethan and Kyle have, we simply add the number of video games Ethan has ("v") to the number of video games Kyle has ((1/3)v + m).
Therefore, the expression for the number of video games that Ethan and Kyle have in total is:
v + (1/3)v + m
2. To write an expression for "one-third of x subtracted from two times y," we can follow these steps:
First, find one-third of x, which can be represented as (1/3)x.
Then, subtract that value from two times y, which can be expressed as 2y.
Therefore, the expression for "one-third of x subtracted from two times y" is:
2y - (1/3)x
3. To write an expression for the amount of money Rani saves, we need to consider that she plans to save 25% of the money she earned over the weekend.
Let's represent the amount of money Rani earned on Saturday as "x" dollars, and the amount she earned on Sunday as "y" dollars.
To find the amount of money Rani saves, we need to calculate 25% of the total amount of money she earned over the weekend.
Since Rani plans to save 25% of her earnings, the expression for the amount of money she saves can be calculated as:
0.25 * (x + y)
4. To write an expression for the total amount of money Sophie spends on drinks, we need to consider the number of people who want large, medium, and small drinks, as well as their respective costs.
Let's represent the number of people who want medium drinks as "m".
Since twice as many people want small drinks as the number of people who want medium drinks, we can express the number of people who want small drinks as 2m.
To calculate the total amount of money Sophie spends on drinks, we need to multiply the respective costs of each type of drink by the number of people who want them and then sum all those costs.
Let's consider that large drinks cost $2.50, medium drinks cost $2, and small drinks cost $1.
Therefore, the expression for the total amount of money Sophie spends on drinks is:
2.50 * number of people who want large drinks + 2 * m + 1 * (2m)
Simplifying the expression further, we have:
2.50 * number of people who want large drinks + 2m + 2m
5. To determine how much Evan earned for the month of July, we need to use the information provided in the table.
The table shows the number of turtles cared for each week during July, but it doesn't specify the exact numbers for each week. So, let's represent the number of turtles cared for in each week as "w1", "w2", "w3", "w4".
Evan earns $25 per week per turtle. Therefore, the expression for Evan's earnings in each week can be calculated as:
Week 1: 25 * w1
Week 2: 25 * w2
Week 3: 25 * w3
Week 4: 25 * w4
To determine Evan's earnings for the entire month of July, we need to sum the earnings for each individual week. So the expression for Evan's total earnings in July is:
25 * w1 + 25 * w2 + 25 * w3 + 25 * w4
Simplifying further, we have:
25 * (w1 + w2 + w3 + w4)
This expression represents how much Evan earned for the month of July based on the number of turtles cared for each week.
