Question

The table in the lesson shows the number of sets of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and quintuplets registered at a twin convention. write and evaluate an expression for the total number of people who registered at the convention.

Twins: 2697
Triplets: 29
Quadruplets: 2
Quintuplets: 1

Order of operations 1.3

Answer 1

5494

Explanation:

Assuming all members of each set registered, the total number is ...

2(2697) +3(29) +4(2) +5(1) = 5494

__

Since you're concerned with order of operations, perhaps you want to see the working out.

= 5394 + 87 +8 +5 . . . . perform all the multiplications

= 5481 +8 +5 . . . . . . . . . perform addition left to right

= 5489 +5

= 5494
