Question

Responses

6×17=102
6 times 17 is equal to 102

17+6=23
17 plus 6 is equal to 23

23−6=17
23 minus 6 is equal to 17

17+17+17+17+17+17=102

Answer 1

The equations that represent the total number of tubes of paint the teacher bought are:

1. 6×17=102

   • This equation correctly calculates the total number of tubes by multiplying the number of packs by the number of tubes in each pack.

2. 17+17+17+17+17+17=102

   • This equation also accurately calculates the total by adding the number of tubes in each of the 6 packs.

The other options do not represent the total number of tubes bought:

• 17+6=23 is incorrect for this context.
• 23−6=17 does not pertain to calculating the total tubes either.

Thus, the correct responses are: 6×17=102 and 17+17+17+17+17+17=102.
