@563blackghost plz help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after this i only have 3 more questions

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

it is for sure A because there has to be parentheses around 62 - f or you wont be able to solve it correctly

So he has 62 fries....now he gave 11 fries to \(\large{each}\) of his friends.....now the word \(\large{each}\) implies that we multiply the number of his friends by 11.... in which we would have to subtract by 62.....so what would be the answer?

C

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

If each friend got 11 fries The total number of fries should be 11*f

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Incorrect....they have a total of 62 fries so we would minus that with how much fries we gave to each friend which is 11 times f...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D IDK

563blackghost (563blackghost):

That would be correct ^^ We would subtract 62 by 11 times f... \(\Huge{62 fries-11 \times f}\)

OpenStudy (ace-n-it):

\[11-62\]
