1 answer

To represent the equation \( 25 + p = 38 \), we are essentially looking for sentences that mean "p is the number you need to add to 25 to get 38."

Let's analyze each option:

  1. 25 more than 38 is p.

    • This means \( 38 + 25 = p \), which is incorrect.

  2. 25 more than 38 is p.

    • Again, this means \( 38 + 25 = p \), which is incorrect.

  3. 25 times as much as p is 38.

    • This means \( 25p = 38 \), which is incorrect.

  4. 25 times as much as p is 38.

    • This also means \( 25p = 38 \), which is incorrect.

  5. 38 is p more than 25.

    • This means \( 25 + p = 38 \), which is correct.

  6. 38 is p more than 25.

    • This also means \( 25 + p = 38 \), which is correct.

  7. Will jogged 25 blocks. Rachel jogged 38 blocks more than Will. How many blocks did Rachel jog?

    • This means Rachel jogged \( 25 + p = 38 \), where \( p \) equals the number of blocks Rachel jogged beyond Will, which would imply \( p = 13 \).

  8. Will jogged 25 blocks. Rachel jogged 38 blocks more than Will. How many blocks did Rachel jog?

    • This statement is identical to the previous and has the same meaning.

  9. Drew has 38 pens. Jenny has 25 fewer. How many more pens does Drew have than Jenny?

    • This means \( 38 - (38 - 25) \), which is like asking how much more Drew has than Jenny and doesn’t relate to the equation given.

From the analysis, the correct sentences that can be represented by the equation \( 25 + p = 38 \) are:

  • 38 is p more than 25.
  • 38 is p more than 25.
  • Will jogged 25 blocks. Rachel jogged 38 blocks more than Will. How many blocks did Rachel jog?
  • Will jogged 25 blocks. Rachel jogged 38 blocks more than Will. How many blocks did Rachel jog?

So the correct responses are:

  • 38 is p more than 25.
  • 38 is p more than 25.
  • Will jogged 25 blocks. Rachel jogged 38 blocks more than Will. How many blocks did Rachel jog?
  • Will jogged 25 blocks. Rachel jogged 38 blocks more than Will. How many blocks did Rachel jog?
