Question

Tony works as a Mexican Sign Language interpreter. When

someone speaks Spanish to a deaf person, he uses sign
language to communicate what that person is saying and he
also communicates the deaf person's response.
Tony works 4 hours each workday. He worked 12 hours last
week and 28 hours this week. Tony writes the expression 12 +
28 to represent the total hours he worked for both weeks.
Which equivalent expression could represent the total
number of hours worked in relation to the number of days
worked each week?
O 2(6+14)
O 4(3+7)
O 2(6+7)
O 4(3+28)

Answer 1

4(3+7)

Explanation:

The total number of hours Tony worked for both weeks is 12 + 28 = 40.

To find the equivalent expression that represents the total number of hours worked in relation to the number of days worked each week, we need to divide 40 by the total number of days worked, which is 10 (2 workdays per week).

So the expression we need is:

40/10 = 4(3+7)

Therefore, the answer is 4(3+7).
