To find an expression that represents how the teacher can divide the total number of drinks \( d \) and sandwiches \( s \) into 20 portions for the 20 scholars, we can start by calculating the total number of items. The total number of items is the sum of drinks and sandwiches:
\[
\text{Total items} = d + s
\]
Next, to determine how many items each scholar would get, we divide the total by the number of scholars (which is 20):
\[
\text{Items per scholar} = \frac{d + s}{20}
\]
Thus, the expression showing how the teacher can divide the total number of drinks and sandwiches into 20 portions is:
\[
\frac{d + s}{20}
\]
\[
\text{Total items} = d + s
\]
Next, to determine how many items each scholar would get, we divide the total by the number of scholars (which is 20):
\[
\text{Items per scholar} = \frac{d + s}{20}
\]
Thus, the expression showing how the teacher can divide the total number of drinks and sandwiches into 20 portions is:
\[
\frac{d + s}{20}
\]
