Question

Lee spends 5 hours a day working for a lawn company and 2 hours cleaning pools. He wrote this equation to represent the total number of hours he works in a day.

d = 5 + 2

Lee works 4 days each week.

Which equation would represent the total time Lee works in a week?

A.
d = 4 · (5 + 2)

B.
d = 4 + (5 + 2)

C.
d = 4 + (5 · 2)

D.
d = (4 · 5) + 2

Answer 1

A is the answer because he works 2 jobs cleaning pools and mowing lawns so you would add their times together and he works 4 days a week so you would take this and multiply it by the amount of hours he works.

If you need an answer to the answer would be he works a total of 28hrs over a four day period
