Jeffrey caught 8 worms in his backyard. 4 worms had a length of 3 inches. The other 4 worms were all the same size. The total length of all the worms combined is 32 inches. Which equation below represents the lengths of all the worms.
Let x represent the length of the other 4 worms.
The total length of the 4 worms with a length of 3 inches is 4*3 = 12 inches.
The total length of all the worms is 12+x = 32 inches.
Therefore, the equation representing the lengths of all the worms is 12+x = 32.
4x + 3=32
4x +3x=32
3(x+4)=32
4(x+3)=32
None of the provided equations represents the lengths of all the worms.
The correct equation is: 4(3) + 4x = 32.
To find the equation that represents the lengths of all the worms, we need to assign variables to the unknowns in the problem. Let's use 'x' to represent the length of the other 4 worms that are all the same size.
We know that there are 4 worms with a length of 3 inches, so the total length of these worms would be 4 multiplied by 3, which equals 12 inches:
4 worms with length 3 inches = 4 * 3 = 12 inches
We also know that the total length of all the worms combined is 32 inches. Since we have 8 worms in total, we can set up the equation as:
Length of 4 worms with length 3 inches + Length of 4 worms with length x inches = Total length of all worms
12 inches + (4 worms with length x inches) = 32 inches
Now we can simplify the equation:
12 + 4x = 32
This equation represents the lengths of all the worms.
