Question
Each member of a four-member relay team ran 100 meters during the relay. The time, in seconds, for each member is shown below.
13.9 s, 12.85 s, 14.82 s, 12.74 s
Which expression finds the total time for the relay team?
100 times 4
(13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74) times 4
13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74
13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74 + 100
13.9 s, 12.85 s, 14.82 s, 12.74 s
Which expression finds the total time for the relay team?
100 times 4
(13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74) times 4
13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74
13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74 + 100

The total time for the relay team is found by adding the individual times of each member. Therefore, the correct expression to find the total time for the relay team is:
**13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74**
This adds up the times for each runner without any additional factors, since each runner's time contributes directly to the total time for the relay.
**13.9 + 12.85 + 14.82 + 12.74**
This adds up the times for each runner without any additional factors, since each runner's time contributes directly to the total time for the relay.
