Ok, I'm here :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don carried a 2 oz bag containing some marbles weighing 9.4 oz each. Jamie carried a 1 oz bag containing the same number of marble weighing 11.2 oz each. Let \[m\] represent the same number of marbles each child carried. Which simplified expression represents the total weight Don and Jamie carried? \[A. 11.4m + 12.2m\] \[B. 10.4m - 13.2m\] \[C. 20.6m + 3m\] \[D. 20.6m + 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's multiple choice.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

O.o o.O this is just confusing...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oz means ounces.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

@iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Even Mathletes get confused sometimes. Everyone needs help sometimes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And in specialized things.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One is good at one thing, while one being good at another.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Huh. @iambatman doesn't show up for me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh...I see he's offline.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

@sleepyhead314 !

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

2+ 9.4m + 1 + 11.2m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or...what is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says simplify, what was that one property.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distributive property!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it has something to do with that!

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

um no just simplify what I gave

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

add like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, \[20.6m + 3\] is what it is, I think. Or, it could be \[3 + 20.6\] . Am I right? (No, I am not being sarcastic, if you were wondering.)

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ha I caught you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only one that makes sense is... D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is D. correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh and thanks for helping me @sleepyhead314

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

right D *falls asleep* night

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha!
