Jose has 4 packs of gum and 10 pieces of gum in each pack. Jose owes each of 4 friends $10. Jose spent $4 for each of 10 baseball cards for his collection. Jose drank 4 ounces of juice on each of the previous 10 days.

4x(-10)=-40

-4x10=-40

4x10=40

-4x(-10)=40

Let's match the mathematical situations and calculations first:

  1. Jose has 4 packs of gum and 10 pieces of gum in each pack.
    Calculation: 4 x 10 = 40
    (Jose has 40 pieces of gum.)

  2. Jose owes each of 4 friends $10.
    Calculation: -4 x 10 = -40
    (Jose owes a total of $40.)

  3. Jose spent $4 for each of 10 baseball cards for his collection.
    Calculation: 4 x 10 = 40
    (Jose spent a total of $40.)

  4. Jose drank 4 ounces of juice on each of the previous 10 days.
    Calculation: -4 x (-10) = 40
    (This seems to be somewhat confusing but relates more to the total he drank rather than the actual use of -4 in this context; he drank a total of 40 ounces.)

Now, let's complete the statements:

  • Jose has 40 pieces of gum.

  • Jose owes a total of $40.00.

  • Jose spent a total of $40.00.

  • Jose had 40 more ounces of juice ten days ago.
