(2,385-846)

4Which of the following is true about the expression above? A. The given expression is 4 times the value of (2,385 − 846). B. The given expression is 4 divided by the value of (2,385 − 846). C. The given expression is one-fourth the value of (2,385 − 846). D. The given expression is 4 less than the value of (2,385 − 846).

1 answer

To analyze the expression \( (2,385 - 846) \) and determine which statement is true, we first need to calculate the value of \( 2,385 - 846 \):

\[ 2,385 - 846 = 1,539 \]

Now, let's examine each option to see which one correctly describes \( 4 \) in relation to \( 1,539 \):

A. The given expression is 4 times the value of \( (2,385 - 846) \).
Calculation: \( 4 \times 1,539 = 6,156 \).
This is not true since it does not equal \( 1,539 \).

B. The given expression is 4 divided by the value of \( (2,385 - 846) \).
Calculation: \( \frac{4}{1,539} \).
This is also not true since it does not equal \( 1,539 \).

C. The given expression is one-fourth the value of \( (2,385 - 846) \).
Calculation: \( \frac{1,539}{4} = 384.75 \).
This is not true since it does not equal \( 1,539 \).

D. The given expression is 4 less than the value of \( (2,385 - 846) \).
Calculation: \( 1,539 - 4 = 1,535 \).
This is not true since it does not equal \( 1,539 \).

Since none of the options provided (A, B, C, D) correctly describe the expression \( (2,385 - 846) \), the conclusion is that none of the statements are true.

However, if the expression is supposed to be just \( 4 \) rather than about the result of \( (2,385 - 846) \), then:

  • The expression \( 4 \) itself is certainly not correctly represented by any of A, B, C, or D with respect to that computed value \( 1,539 \).

Please check the question as it seems there may have been a mistake in how the options relate to the computed value. If the expression was clerically supposed to compare \( 4 \) directly or was misphrased, kindly clarify if more context or reconstructing is needed.
