Question

A restaurant uses C cups of flour for baking rolls and 12 cups of flour for baking pies each day you said distributed property to write and simplify an expression for how much flour the restaurant uses in seven days

Answer 1

Answer: 7C+84

Explanation:

Distributive property : a(b+c) = ab+ac , where a,b,c, are any expressions.

Given : A restaurant uses C cups of flour for baking rolls and 12 cups of flour for baking pies.

i.e. Number of cups of flour used for baking rolls per day = C

Number of cups of flour used for baking pies per day = 12

Total flour used each day= C+12

Now , total flour used in 7 days = 7 x (Total flour used each day)

= 7 (C+12)

= 7C +7 (12) [By distributive property]

= 7C+84

Hence, the expression for how much flour the restaurant uses in seven days : 7C+84
