Question

Which expression can be used to determine the total weight of c crabs that weigh 6.2 ounces each and s shrimp that weigh 0.85 ounces each?

A 7.05(c+s)

B 6.2c+0.85s

C 0.85c−6.2c

D 6.2c−0.85s

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

Use the variable c for crabs and therefore it should be 6.2c because it is 6.2oz for each crab. The variable for shrimp is s and since it is 0.85oz for each shrimp, use 0.85s.

Since it is asking for the total weight, add these together and you get 6.2c + 0.85s

Hope this helps;)
