Question

1) Nikita wrote the expression 72 + 26. Bettina wrote the expression 4 x (72+26).Which sentence is true about the value of their expressions?a) The value of Bettina's expression is the value of Nikita's expression.b) The value of Bettina's expression is 4 times more than the value of Nikita's expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

b) The value of Bettina's expression is 4 times more than the value of Nikita's expression.

Explanations:

Nikita's expression = 72 + 26

Bettina's expression = 4 x (72 + 26)

For clarification, let us find the value of Nikita's expressions

Value of Nikita's expression = 72 + 26 = 98................(1)

Let us simplify Bettina's expression a little further:

Bettina's expression = 4 x (72 + 24)

Bettina's expression = 4 x 98 ..........................................(2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we would see that the value of Bettina's expression is 4 times the value of Nikita's expression.
