Evaluate if m = 16 and p = 2.
1/2m + 3p
A) 10
B) 14
C) 18
D) 48
14
To evaluate the expression 1/2m + 3p with m = 16 and p = 2, we substitute these values into the expression:
To evaluate the expression 1/2m + 3p when m = 16 and p = 2, we substitute the given values into the expression.
First, substitute m = 16 and p = 2:
1/2(16) + 3(2)
Then, simplify the expression:
8 + 6
Finally, evaluate the sum:
8 + 6 = 14
Therefore, option B) 14 is the correct answer.
