Question

Megan and her family went apple picking at an orchard. She filled one large basket with eight green apples to make a pie. She also filled three small baskets with g green apples each to give to her friends as presents.

Pick all the expressions that represent how many apples Megan picked in all.


A. 11 + G
B. 8 + g + g + g
C. 24g
D. 8 + 3g

Answer 1

Answer: What are all of the Expressions that Represent how Many Apples Megan Picked in All?

Explanation:

The expressions that represent how many apples Megan picked in all are:

b.) 8+g+g+g

d.) 8+3g

Expression (a) does not take into account the three small baskets of apples that Megan picked to give to her friends, so it is not correct. Expression (c) multiplies the number of apples in the first basket by the number of baskets Megan picked, but it does not take into account the number of apples in the other three baskets, so it is not correct.

Therefore, the correct expressions are (b) and (d), which count the apples in the large basket and the three small baskets.

Answer 2

D. 8+3g

Explanation:

We know that Megan filled 1 large basket, L, with 8 green apples.

So L = 8.

We also know that she filled 3 small baskets, S, with the same amount of green apples, g.

This would mean that we could multiply the amount of green apples, g, with the amount of small baskets Megan filled to find the amount of apples Megan picked for the small baskets.

This would mean that S = 3*g. Which could be written also be written as S = 3g.

We want to know how many apples Megan picked overall, so we would add the apples in the large basket and small baskets together to find the total, T.

This would be T = G + S. After plugging in [8] for G and [3g] for S, we would get [8+3g].
