Question

Match each expression it to an equivalent expression

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$\frac{4^2}{2^2} = 4\\\\(8-4)*4=4^2\\\\2^2 + 2^2 = 8$

»»————-　★　————-««  

Here’s why:  

$\boxed{\text{Simplifying each expression:}}\\\\\frac{4^2}{2^2}\\---------\\\\\\rightarrow \frac{16}{4}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{4}\\\\ \boxed{\frac{4^2}{2^2}=4}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$(8-4) * 4\\-----------\\\rightarrow (4)*4\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{16}\\\\\text{We can also tell...}\\\\4^2 = 4 * 4 = \boxed{16}\\\\\text{So...}\\\\\boxed{(8-4)*4 = 4^2}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$2^2 + 2^2\\--------------\\\rightarrow 4 + 2^2\\\\\rightarrow 4 + 4\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{8}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
