Answer 1

The correct expression to find the total number of flowers in 10 bouquets, with each bouquet comprising 4 carnations, 3 roses, and 5 tulips, is 4(10)+3(10)+5(10), option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves simple arithmetic to find out the total number of flowers in 10 bouquets when one bouquet consists of 4 carnations, 3 roses, and 5 tulips. We need to multiply the number of each type of flower by 10 to find the total amount of each type in 10 bouquets and then add those amounts together to find the total number of flowers. Therefore, the correct expression to represent the total number of flowers in 10 bouquets is a) 4(10)+3(10)+5(10).
