Answer:
a) x + y
b) m x 7 or 7m
c) m x 3 or 3m
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) the sum of x and y
- the sum most likely always means addition
b) the product of m and 7
- the product usually means multiplucation
c) the cost of 3 movie tickets at m dollars each
- so your getting 3 movie tickets at $m
the total would be m + m + m which is the same as mutiplying m by 3
d) 3 less than n, all divided by 4
- 3 less than n
less than usually means subtraction
than divided by 4
3:8 - 3:8
8:6 - 4:3
4:8 - 1:2
I would say that the answer is 1:2
So in order to answer your question we calculate 40 - 22 wich gives us the answer of 18, so now we can say that 4/5 of apples weight 18 so now 18 / 4 = 4,5; 4,5 * 5 = 22,5 wich is the weight of apples you can put in the box, to know the answer we deduct the greatest weight of apples only from the weight of the box with those apples so, 40 - 22,5 = 17,5
so the answer to your question is 17,5
i hope i helped you
