Question

Each person was asked to take 2 red tiles and 5 blue tiles to create a design. The equation below represents the total number of tiles taken by each person.

t= 2+5

Which equation would represent the total number of tiles taken by 8 people?

A. t = 8 +2 + 5


B. t = 8. (2+5)


C. t = 2 +5 . 8


D. t = (8 . 2) + 5

Answer 1

The correct option is B.

Let's break it down:

1. We know that each person is taking 2 red tiles and 5 blue tiles, which means the total tiles taken by each person is 2+5 = 7 tiles.

2. We are trying to find the total number of tiles taken by 8 people. If each person is taking 7 tiles, then to find the total number of tiles taken by 8 people, we simply multiply 7 (the number of tiles taken by one person) by 8 (the number of people). This can be represented by the equation t = 8*(2+5).

So, the equation that correctly represents the total number of tiles taken by 8 people is option B: t = 8 * (2+5).

Answer 2

B.... because the quantity (2+5) needs to be multiplied 8X for 8 people
