The number of sit-ups is 5 fewer than half the number of push-ups he does.

Answer 1

A. The number of sit-ups is 5 more than twice the number of push-ups he does.

Explanation:

Expressions:

p = push-ups done

2p + 5 situps = total situps

2p means that he does twice the amount of situps than he did as pushups.

+ 5 situps means that he does an extra 5 situps
