The expression \( 6 \times (5 + 2) \) can be interpreted as follows:

  1. The total of 5 and 2 is multiplied by 6. - This correctly translates the expression as it states that you first find the total (sum) of 5 and 2, and then multiply that result by 6.

  2. The product of 6 and the sum of 5 and 2. - This also accurately describes the expression, as it indicates you are calculating the product of 6 and the result of adding 5 and 2.

The other options provided do not accurately represent the expression:

  • 6 multiplied by the product of 5 and 2. - This implies that you would first multiply 5 and 2, and then multiply that result by 6, which is not what the original expression indicates.

  • 2 more than the product of 6 and 5. - This suggests an additional operation (adding 2) which does not reflect the original expression.

Therefore, the correct responses that represent the expression \( 6 \times (5 + 2) \) are:

  • The total of 5 and 2 is multiplied by 6.
  • The product of 6 and the sum of 5 and 2.
