To determine the total number of tubes of paint the art teacher bought, we need to calculate the product of the number of packs and the number of tubes in each pack.
The total can be found using the equation:
Additionally, the total can also be expressed as the repeated addition of the tubes in each pack:
- \( 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 102 \)
Now, let's evaluate the given responses:
- 17 + 6 = 23 (not correct; it doesn't represent the total number of tubes)
- 6 × 17 = 102 (correct)
- 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 102 (correct)
- 23 - 6 = 17 (not correct; it doesn't represent the total number of tubes)
The two equations that represent the total number of tubes of paint the teacher bought are:
- \( 6 × 17 = 102 \)
- \( 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 102 \)
So, the correct responses are:
- 6 × 17 = 102
- 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 102
