Having a Ball in Gym Class
UNIT NAME: Numerical Expressions
can someone give me the answers for this port pls pls pls pls pls
Directions: Before school began, Mrs. Weeks bought a total of 86 balls.
Use the information below to help you write a numerical expression for the
number of each type of ball. Then record the total number of each type of
ball.
• footballs – There are 8 footballs.
• basketballs – Two more than twice the number of footballs are
basketballs.
• baseballs – Four less than 5 times the number of footballs are
baseballs.
• softballs – Six more than half of the baseballs are softballs.

Use the space below to show your work. Check your work very carefully
because you will need to use your answers to complete Part 2
Type of Ball Numerical Expression for the Number of Balls Total Number of Each Type of Ball
football (given) 8 8
basketball 2 + 2(8) = 18 18
baseball 5(8) - 4 = 36 36
softball (1/2)36 + 6 = 24 24

You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
To find the numerical expression for each type of ball, we will use the given information and solve step by step:
1. footballs: The given number of footballs is 8.
2. basketballs: The number of basketballs is two more than twice the number of footballs.
Numerical expression: 2 + 2 * 8 = 2 + 16 = 18
Therefore, the numerical expression for the number of basketballs is 18.
3. baseballs: The number of baseballs is four less than five times the number of footballs.
Numerical expression: 5 * 8 - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36
Therefore, the numerical expression for the number of baseballs is 36.
4. softballs: The number of softballs is six more than half of the number of baseballs.
Numerical expression: 6 + 1/2 * 36 = 6 + 18 = 24
Therefore, the numerical expression for the number of softballs is 24.
The total number of each type of ball is as follows:
- footballs: 8
- basketballs: 18
- baseballs: 36
- softballs: 24
