Question

A parent made x cupcakes for each of the 109 students in the fourth grade. Which expression could be used to determine the total number of cupcakes made?
A. x/109
B. 109/x
C.109x
D.109+x

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 109x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 109 students in the fourth grade, who each have x cupcakes. In order to find the total amount of cupcakes, we could add all of the cupcakes together to get:

x + x + x + x + .... x

109 times because there are 109 students.

This can be simplified to become 109x.
