During a 5-day paper recycling drive, the students in a classroom collected 12.4 pounds of paper each day for 4 days and 8.39 pounds of paper on the fifth day. Which steps can be used to find the total number of pounds of paper the students collected for the recycling drive? A Multiply 12.4 by 4, then add 8.39. B Multiply 12.4 by 5, then add 8.39. C Add 12.4 and 8.39, then multiply the result by 4. D Add 12.4 and 8.39, then multiply the result by 5.​

Answer 1

A.57.99 B.70.39 C 45.96

Step-by-step explanation:12.4 x 4 + 8.39 = 57.99 for Part A For B, this is 12.4x5+8.39=70.39. C is 12.4+8.39x4=45.96 12.4 + 8.39 x 5 =54.35

I'm not sure whether I should group the responses because there isn't much context, but I hope this helps.
