Answer:

The expression Barak could use to find the amount he will spend to feed his pet lizards for one day = Number of pets × number of crickets per pet × cost of each crickets

Explanation:

Pet lizards = 4

Each lizard eats 5 crickets

4 pet lizards will eat = 4 × 5 crickets

= 20 crickets

A cricket = 12 cents

That is, $0.12

Cost of 20 crickets = 20 × $0.12

= $2

The expression Barak could use to find the amount he will spend to feed his pet lizards for one day

= Number of pets × number of crickets per pet × cost of each crickets

= (4) (5) (0.12)

= $2.4
