brandon owns nearly two times as many CDs as Ingrid Brandon own 56 CDs write an equation an use it to estimate the number n of CDs Ingrid owns
A.n - 2 = 56; about 58 CDs
B.n + 2 = 56;about 54 CDs
C.n = 56; about 112 CDs
---
2
D. 2n = 56; about 28 CDs
ugh, it D
its D :)
56 x 2 is 112 so nearly that is going to be about 112 you can write the problem out
Hello:) is the best thank you and have a nice day!!!
He has 2 times as many.
And than it says, he has 56-
Which rules out multiplying 56 by 2, dum dum
To solve this problem, we'll need to set up the equation based on the given information.
The first sentence states that "Brandon owns nearly two times as many CDs as Ingrid." We can represent the number of CDs Ingrid owns as "n". Since Brandon owns nearly two times as many CDs, we can write the equation as:
Brandon's CDs = 2 * Ingrid's CDs
Given that Brandon owns 56 CDs, we can substitute this value into the equation:
56 = 2 * Ingrid's CDs
To find the estimated number of CDs Ingrid owns, we can rearrange the equation:
Ingrid's CDs = 56 / 2 = 28 CDs
So, the correct option is D. 2n = 56, estimating Ingrid to own about 28 CDs.
come on. read the words
two times as many
what do you think?
