7. the product of a number, x, and five is half the sum of the number and two. which answer represents this situation? a. 5 =12 + 2 b. 5 +12( + 2) c. 10 =12( + 2) d. 10 +12 + 3

In word problems, we can take what they say to create an expression of it.

"The product of a number, x, and five is half the sum of the number and two."

We can write this as

5x = (x + 2) / 2

The correct answer would be A I assume, but some pieces are missing.

If A is 5x = 1/2x + 2, then that is the correct answer.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

7,24
