Bags of clementines have 12 each. For a party, Sal, Trisha, and Joe each brought bags of clementines. Altogether, there were 180 clementines. Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6. Write the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought, t .(2 points) __(t+__ ) =__

5 answers

To solve for the number of bags of clementines Trisha brought (denoted as \( t \)), we first calculate how many clementines Sal and Joe brought.

  1. Clementines from Sal:
    Sal brought 4 bags of clementines, and since each bag contains 12 clementines: \[ \text{Clementines from Sal} = 4 \times 12 = 48 \]

  2. Clementines from Joe:
    Joe brought 6 bags of clementines, therefore: \[ \text{Clementines from Joe} = 6 \times 12 = 72 \]

  3. Total clementines from Sal and Joe: \[ \text{Total from Sal and Joe} = 48 + 72 = 120 \]

  4. Total clementines at the party:
    The total number of clementines is 180. Therefore, the number of clementines brought by Trisha is: \[ \text{Clementines from Trisha} = 180 - 120 = 60 \]

  5. Finding bags of clementines Trisha brought:
    Since each bag contains 12 clementines, we can find the number of bags \( t \) that Trisha brought: \[ 12t = 60 \] Dividing both sides by 12 gives: \[ t = 5 \]

Now we can write the equation to express the total number of bags:

The equation that describes the scenario is: \[ (t + 4 + 6) = 15 \] which conveys that total bags (Trisha's bags + Sal's bags + Joe's bags) equal to the total number of bags brought.

So, the final answer for the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is: \[ (t + 10) = 15 \]

answer all question marks

Let's break it down step by step to fill in the equation regarding how many bags Trisha brought, denoted as \( t \).

  1. Clementines per bag: Each bag of clementines contains 12 clementines.

  2. Clementines brought by Sal:

    • Sal brought 4 bags. Therefore, the total number of clementines Sal brought is: \[ 4 \times 12 = 48 \]
  3. Clementines brought by Joe:

    • Joe brought 6 bags. Therefore, the total number of clementines Joe brought is: \[ 6 \times 12 = 72 \]
  4. Total clementines from Sal and Joe:

    • Together, Sal and Joe brought: \[ 48 + 72 = 120 \]
  5. Total clementines at the party:

    • The total number of clementines is 180.
  6. Finding clementines brought by Trisha:

    • The number of clementines Trisha brought is: \[ 180 - 120 = 60 \]
  7. Finding bags of clementines Trisha brought:

    • Since each bag contains 12 clementines, we set up the equation for the number of bags Trisha brought: \[ 12t = 60 \]
    • Dividing both sides by 12 gives: \[ t = 5 \]

Now, we can write the equation representing the total number of clementines as: \[ (t + 4 + 6) = 15 \]

To answer your specific question regarding the equation format \((t + ? ) = ? \):

  • Trisha’s bags = \( t \)
  • Sal's bags = 4
  • Joe's bags = 6

Answering the question marks:

  • The first question mark will be \( 4 + 6 = 10 \).
  • The second question mark will be the total number of bags, which is \( 15 \).

Thus, the completed equation is: \[ (t + 10) = 15 \]

So the final answer is:

  • ? = 10
  • ? = 15
ok your not doing this correctly

there need to be 3 answer which are shown as question marks
?(t+? ) =?
but ur doing it as
(t+? ) =?
so please put 3 numbers not 2

Thank you for your patience! Let's set up the equation correctly with three specific numbers for the placeholders.

  1. Clementines brought by Sal:

    • Sal brought 4 bags, which gives: \[ 4 \times 12 = 48 \text{ clementines} \]
  2. Clementines brought by Joe:

    • Joe brought 6 bags, which gives: \[ 6 \times 12 = 72 \text{ clementines} \]
  3. Total clementines from Sal and Joe:

    • Total from Sal and Joe is: \[ 48 + 72 = 120 \text{ clementines} \]
  4. Total clementines at the party:

    • The total number of clementines is 180, so Trisha's contribution (in clementines) is: \[ 180 - 120 = 60 \text{ clementines} \]
  5. Finding the bags Trisha brought:

    • Since each bag contains 12 clementines, we calculate: \[ \frac{60}{12} = 5 \text{ bags} \]

Now, to write the equation to express the total bags brought (Sal, Joe, and Trisha):

The equation is: \[ (t + 4 + 6) = 15 \]

Where:

  • \( t \) = number of bags Trisha brought
  • 4 = bags brought by Sal
  • 6 = bags brought by Joe

Final answer with question marks filled in:

\[ ?(t + ?) = ? \] where:

  • ? = 4 (the number of bags Sal brought)
  • ? = 6 (the number of bags Joe brought)
  • ? = 15 (the total number of bags)

So the final equation is: \[ (4 + t + 6) = 15 \]

To summarize:

  • First question mark = 4
  • Second question mark = 6
  • Third question mark = 15
