Question

Ethan is making flat rectangular pizzas for his shop. The number of slices in each pizza is 2 more than the number of pizzas he has on the countertops. If p represents the number of pizzas on each countertop, which expression can be used to represent the number of slices on 4 countertops?

Answer 1

a) 4p^2

b) 4(p + 2)

c) 4p + 2

d) 4p(p + 2)

Answer 2

hmm if "p" is the amount of pizzas on each countertop
and the slices on each pizza on that same countertop is, THAT AMOUNT "p" plus 2
so that is, p + 2

how many slices will there be in 1 counertop?

Answer 3

so, its B?

Answer 4

is it?

Answer 5

i think....

Answer 6

hmm well... what makes you think is B?

how many slices do the pizzas have, in terms of "p" in each counter?

Answer 7

well there are 4 counter tops and there are 2 more slices than there are pizzas...

Answer 8

so each pizza in 1 countertop has p+2 slices
so adding 4 countertops will give us \(\bf (p+2)+(p+2)+(p+2)+(p+2)\\
\textit{recall that }a + a + a +a = 4a\\ \quad \\
(p+2)+(p+2)+(p+2)+(p+2)\implies 4(p+2)\)

Answer 9

well, yeah.... that was the way i looked at it...... so it is B..
