Let's match the mathematical situations with the calculations:
-
Jose has 4 packs of gum and 10 pieces of gum in each pack.
Calculation: 4 x 10 = 40 -
Jose owes each of 4 friends $10.
Calculation: -4 x 10 = -40 (This indicates Jose owes a total amount.) -
Jose spent $4 for each of 10 baseball cards for his collection.
Calculation: 4 x (-10) = -40 (This indicates expenditure that results in a negative change in his finances.) -
Jose drank 4 ounces of juice on each of the previous 10 days.
Calculation: -4 x (-10) = 40 (This is a total consumption that yields a positive amount.)
Now we can fill in 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.
(Note: In the third statement, ensure you format the total amount with two decimal places if required, as in "$40.00.")
