during a canned food drive, Bob collected 6 times as many cans as Tom. if t represents the number of cans that Tom collected, which algebraic expression represents the number of cans that Bob collected?
6T.
To find the algebraic expression representing the number of cans Bob collected, we can start by representing the number of cans Tom collected with the variable "t." Given that Bob collected 6 times as many cans as Tom, we can write:
Number of cans Bob collected = 6 * (Number of cans Tom collected)
Substituting "t" for the number of cans Tom collected, the algebraic expression representing the number of cans Bob collected is:
6t
