1 answer

Let's analyze each situation to select the appropriate mathematical expression:

  1. Jose has 4 packs of gum and 10 pieces of gum in each pack:

    • Mathematical situation: \(4 \times 10 = 40\)
    • Answer: Jose has 40 pieces of gum.
  2. Jose owes each of 4 friends $10:

    • Mathematical situation: \(-4 \times (-10) = 40\)
    • Answer: Jose owes a total of $40.00.
  3. Jose spent $4 for each of 10 baseball cards for his collection:

    • Mathematical situation: \(4 \times 10 = 40\) (however, the price here should represent the total amount spent, hence it should be calculated as \(10 \times 4 = 40\) to make sense based on given values)
    • Each card costs $4, so overall, he spent: \[10 \text{ cards} \times $4 \text{ each} = $40.00\]
    • Answer: Jose spent a total of $40.00.
  4. Jose drank 4 ounces of juice on each of the previous 10 days:

    • Mathematical situation: \(4 \times 10 = 40\)
    • Answer: Jose had 40 more ounces of juice ten days ago.

Thus, summarizing the answers:

  • 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.
