Question

The number of potatoes, p is four more then half the number of green beans, g. Which expression represents the number of potatoes in terms of the number of green beans?

(all slashes are fractions)
g+4/2

g/2 +4

4g+2

2g+4

Answer 1

p=g/2+4
If p is four more than half, then it's just half of g plus four.

Answer 2

Answer: g/2 + 4

Explanation:

From the question, the number of potatoes, p is four more than half the number of green beans, g.

Potatoes are denoted by p

Green beans are denoted by g

Half the number of green peas means:

1/2 × g = g/2

Since, p is four more than half the number of green beans, g. This means we will add 4 to the value we've gotten. This will be:

g/2 + 4
