Reggie writes the expression m + 8 × (2/3). Which expression is equivalent to the one Reggie writes?
A) (m+8)(2 ÷ 3)
B) 8 + m(2 ÷ 3)
C) m + (8×3 ÷ 2)
D) (8×2 ÷ 3) + m
D looks good to me since 2÷3 = 2/3
and multiplication is commutative
If you expand the others you can clearly see that they do not match
A) (m+8)(2 ÷ 3) = m*(2/3) + 8*(2/3)
B) 8 + m(2 ÷ 3) = 8 + m(2/3)
C) m + (8×3 ÷ 2) = m + 8(3/2)
THANK YOU!
thanks
You're welcome!
Reggie writes the expression m + 8 × (2/3). Which expression is equivalent to the one Reggie writes?
Responses
A (m+8)(2 ÷ 3)(m+8)(2 ÷ 3)
B (8×2 ÷ 3) + m(8×2 ÷ 3) + m
C 8 + m(2 ÷ 3)8 + m(2 ÷ 3)
D m + (8×3 ÷ 2)
The correct answer is D) m + (8×3 ÷ 2).
To simplify m + 8 × (2/3), we can first multiply 8 and 2/3 together:
8 × (2/3) = 16/3
So the expression becomes:
m + 16/3
To write this in a more common fraction form, we can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
16/3 = 5 1/3
So the expression is equivalent to:
m + 5 1/3
Now we can simplify the mixed number to a fraction:
m + (5×3 + 1)/3 = m + 16/3
So the answer is D) m + (8×3 ÷ 2) or m + 16/3.

A grocery clerk put only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on a shelf. The ratio of the number of flour tortillas to the number of packages on the shelf was 5 to 9. Which number could be the number of packages of corn tortillas the clerk put on the shelf?
Responses
A 2323
B 1414
C 3232
D 1818
Let's call the number of packages of flour tortillas "5x" and the number of total packages on the shelf "9x", since we know that the ratio of flour tortillas to the total is 5 to 9.
This means that the number of packages of corn tortillas is:
9x - 5x = 4x
So the number of packages of corn tortillas must be a multiple of 4.
Out of the given choices, only 14 and 32 are multiples of 4.
Let's try 14 as the answer. If there are 14 packages of corn tortillas, then the total number of packages on the shelf is 5x + 14, and this must be a multiple of 9.
5x + 14 = 9n
where n is some integer. Rearranging this equation:
5x = 9n - 14
The right hand side is always even, so the left hand side must also be even. But 5x is only even if x is even. Therefore, n must be even as well.
If we try n = 2, then we get:
5x = 9(2) - 14 = 4
which doesn't work, since x must be a positive integer.
Therefore, 14 cannot be the answer.
Now let's try 32 as the answer. If there are 32 packages of corn tortillas, then the total number of packages on the shelf is 5x + 32, and this must be a multiple of 9.
5x + 32 = 9n
where n is some integer. Rearranging this equation:
5x = 9n - 32
The right hand side is always odd, so the left hand side must also be odd. But 5x is odd only if x is odd. Therefore, n must be odd as well.
If we try n = 3, then we get:
5x = 9(3) - 32 = 1
which works if x = 1/5. However, x must be a positive integer, so this doesn't work.
Therefore, 32 cannot be the answer either.
Since neither 14 nor 32 works, the answer is none of the above.
Which expression is equivalent to 3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62
Responses
A 27 - 2 × 1227 - 2 × 12
B 12 + 6412 + 64
C 3(9) - 2 × 363(9) - 2 × 36
D 17 - 122
17 - 12 2
Let's solve the expression step by step:
3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62
= 3 (9) - 2 × 62 (since 4 + 5 = 9)
= 27 - 124 (since 2 × 62 = 124)
= - 97
So the equivalent expression is option: A) 27 - 2 × 12 or -97.
On Tuesday 27% of the customers who bought gas at a gas station made additional purchases. There were 300 customers who bought gas. How many of these 300 customers made additional purchases?
Responses
A 219219
B 2727
C 8181
D 273
To solve this problem, we can start by finding the number of customers who made additional purchases using the given percentage.
27% of 300 customers can be found by multiplying 300 by 0.27:
300 × 0.27 = 81
Therefore, 81 customers made additional purchases out of the 300 who bought gas.
The answer is C) 81.

Question
Four points are graphed on the coordinate grid. Which point is best represented by the ordered pair ( -5.5, 2)?
Responses
A Point SPoint S
B Point WPoint W
C Point RPoint R
D Point VPoint V
The point best represented by the ordered pair (-5.5, 2) is option D) Point V.
In a coordinate grid, the x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point, and the y-coordinate represents the vertical position. Therefore, for the point (-5.5, 2), -5.5 represents the x-coordinate, and 2 represents the y-coordinate.
Looking at the graph, we can see that only Point V has an x-coordinate of -5.5 and a y-coordinate of 2. Therefore, Point V is best represented by the ordered pair (-5.5, 2).

Question
The area of a rectangle is 55.5 square inches. The height of the rectangle is 15 inches. What is the length of the base of the rectangle in inches?
Responses
A 832.5 in832.5 in
B 40.5 in40.5 in
C 3.7 in3.7 in
D 6.5 in6.5 in
Let's start by using the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length × Width
We know that the area is 55.5 square inches, and the height (which is also the width in this case) is 15 inches. Therefore, we can plug in these values and solve for the length:
55.5 = Length × 15
Dividing both sides by 15:
Length = 55.5 ÷ 15
Length = 3.7
Therefore, the length of the base of the rectangle is 3.7 inches.
The answer is C) 3.7 in.

Question
The owner of a food cart sells an average of 60 frozen treats per day during the summer. Which graph best shows the relationship between the number of days and the number of frozen treats sold?
Responses
A BB
B DD
C CC
D A
The best graph that shows the relationship between the number of days and the number of frozen treats sold would be a linear graph with the points showing a constant rate of change.
Since we know that the owner sells an average of 60 frozen treats per day during the summer, this means that for each day that passes, the owner sells 60 frozen treats. This is a constant rate of change, which means the graph would be a straight line with a slope of 60.
Therefore, the best graph that shows this relationship is option D). It shows a straight line with a slope of 60 and passing through the point (0,0), which represents the beginning of the summer when no frozen treats have been sold yet.
Marty used a thermometer to record temperatures of -3.4° Celsius and 1.6° Celsius. Which temperature in degrees Celsius falls between the two temperatures Marty recorded?
Responses
A -5.4°C-5.4°C
B 1.8°C1.8°C
C 3.9°C3.9°C
D -2.6°C
To solve this question, we need to find the temperature between -3.4°C and 1.6°C.
The midpoint between two numbers can be found by averaging them:
Midpoint = (First number + Second number)/2
Midpoint = (-3.4 + 1.6)/2
Midpoint = -0.9
Therefore, the temperature between -3.4°C and 1.6°C is -0.9°C.
None of the answer choices match -0.9°C, so the correct answer would be "none of the above".
