Question

Fran is making pair of earrings and a bracelet for four friends. Each pair of earrings uses 4.5 centimeters of wire and each bracelet uses 13 centimeters. Write two equivalent expressions and then find how much total wire is needed.

Answer 1

4(4.5+13)=70 cm

And

(4.5+13)+(4.5+13)+(4.5+13)+(4.5+13)=70 cm

I think this one *might* have multiple possibilities but these are just 2 that I can think of

Explanation:

There are 4 friends, so whatever you get by adding the bracelet and the earrings, you have to multiply by 4.

4.5+13=17.5

17.5x4=70 cm
