Question

Which of the following expression represents the given statement the sum of 15 red balls and 50 yellow balls is greater than 400​
a. 15r +50y>400
b. 15y +50r>400
c. 15r +50y (greater than or equal)400
d. 400 =15r+50y

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

15 red balls = 15r

50 yellow balls = 50y

Add them together: 15r + 50y

Greater than symbol is >

Since the sum of 15 red and 50 yellow is greater than 400, the resulting equation must be 15r + 50y > 400

(if you're still stuck, consider the greater than symbol as an alligator with the numbers on either side representing a number of fish. The alligator always wants to eat the larger number of fish, so whatever number the mouth is open toward is the larger number)

Consider marking brainliest. I hope this helps :)
