Answer 1

Jared is packing 18 pairs of socks for summer camp, consisting of 6 matched pairs and 12 mismatched pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jared has a total of 30 pairs of socks, out of which 6 pairs are matched and the rest are mismatched. Firstly, we should subtract the matched pairs from the total pairs: 30 pairs - 6 matched pairs = 24 mismatched pairs. Now, since he is packing half of his mismatched socks, we divide the number of mismatched pairs by 2: 24 mismatched pairs / 2 = 12 pairs. Including the matched pairs, he is therefore packing a total of 6 matched pairs + 12 mismatched pairs = 18 pairs of socks for summer camp.

Answer 2

Jared has 24 mismatched pairs of socks and decides to pack half of them for summer camp, which is 12 pairs. Combining these with the 6 matched pairs, he packs a total of 18 pairs of socks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jared has a total of 30 pairs of socks. Out of these, 6 are matched pairs, leaving him with 24 mismatched pairs.

Since he decides to pack half of his mismatched socks, we have to calculate half of the 24 mismatched pairs.

Now, half of 24 is 12. Therefore, Jared will be packing 12 mismatched pairs of socks.

Including his matched pairs, the total number of pairs of socks Jared will pack for summer camp is the 6 matched pairs plus the 12 mismatched pairs, giving us a sum of 18 pairs of socks.
