Which statement shows the meaning of the driver's equation? Check all that apply.
a.) Three dollars added to $0.50 is the same as $9.50.
b.) Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.
c.) Three dollars more than the quotient of $0.50 and the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
d.) The product of the number of miles and the sum of $3 and $0.50 is equal to $9.50.
e.) The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
Answers
The correct answers are:
b
e.) The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
Explanation:
The formula written by the driver is: 3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50
where m = number of miles travelled
This means that when the product of 0.50 and the number of miles travelled 'm' is added to $3, the result is 9.50
And this is the same explanation as the following options:
a.) Three dollars($3) plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents($9.50).
e.) e.) The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents;
note that 50 cents is the same as $0.50
