What does the entire expression represent? The term 1.5n represents the (select) The term 1.4m represents the (select) The expression represents the (select)

Answer 1

The equation is

1.5n+1.4m

Where n represents pencils per package and m represents pads of paper.

The term 1.5n represents packs of pencils that each cost $1.50

The term 1.4m represents pads of paper that each cost $1.40

And the expression represents the total amount of money for both the amount of pencils and pads of paper.

Hope this makes sense and helps!
