Brennan is helping blow up green and pink balloons for his sister's birthday party. He decided to blow up an equal number of balloons at 4 separate times, so that he didn't get too tired. He blew up g green balloons and p pink balloons each time.

Question

Pick all the expressions that represent how many balloons Brennan blew up in all.

Answer 1

The expressions that represent how many balloons Brennan blew up in all are:

4g + 4p (Since he blew up g green balloons and p pink balloons each time, and he did this 4 separate times, we can express the total number of balloons as 4g + 4p)

4(g + p) (We can also factor out a common factor of 4 from both the g and p terms, resulting in 4(g + p))

8g + 8p (If each time Brennan blew up g green balloons and p pink balloons, then blowing them up 4 separate times would result in 8g + 8p total balloons)
