You got to McDonald's and order some food for you and your friends.Your friends give you a list of what you need to order: 1 cheeseburger, 2 orders of fries, 3 cheeseburgers, and 3 orders of fries. How can you simplify this order so that way you don't have to read of the exact list they gave you.

Answer:

4 cheeseburgers and 5 fries.

Explanation:

Here, the orders given are as follows:

1 cheeseburger,

2 orders of fries,

3 cheeseburgers, and

3 orders of fries

If we observe closely, it can be seen that there are orders of cheeseburgers 2 times and orders of fries also 2 times.

In order to simplify the given list, we must add the similar kind of orders together.

Therefore the given order list can be written as:

1 cheeseburger + 3 cheeseburgers, and

2 orders of fries + 3 orders of fries

OR

In other words:

4 cheeseburger, and 5 orders of fries

Therefore, the simplified order is:

4 cheeseburger, and 5 orders of fries
