Answer 2

Fifty more than half the number of the oranges is one-hundred-and-twenty.

The sum of fifty and half the number of oranges is the same as one-hundred-twenty.

Explanation:

The equation is 50 + one-half m = 120.

Assume the number of oranges=m

50+1/2m=120

1/2m=120-50

1/2m=70

m=70÷1/2

=140

All statement that applies includes:

1. Fifty more than half the number of the oranges is one-hundred-and-twenty.

50+1/2m=120

2. The sum of fifty and half the number of oranges is the same as one-hundred-twenty.

50+1/2m=120

Martha can use the two statements above to communicate the correct equation
