Question

Nando has 4 goldfish. Jill has 3 goldfish. Cooper has 2 times as many goldfish as Nando and Jill combined. Write an equation that compares the number of goldfish Cooper has with the number of goldfish that Nando and Jill have.

Answer 1

C= 2(4 + 3)

this might be too complicated but C (Cooper's goldfish) equals 2 times 4 + 3

Answer 2

Answer:
`c=2(4+3)`

Explanation:

Given : Nando has 4 goldfish. Jill has 3 goldfish. Cooper has 2 times as many goldfish as Nando and Jill combined.

i.e. Number of goldfish Cooper has =
`2(4+3)`

To write the equation that compares the number of goldfish Cooper has with the number of goldfish that Nando and Jill have , we denote the number of goldfish Cooper has as "c", we get

`c=2(4+3)`

Hence, the required equation :
`c=2(4+3)`
