Question

Lee buys h packs of hotdogs and b packs of buns for a party. Hotdogs come in packs of 8 and buns come in packs of 12. Write an expression for the total number of hotdogs and buns bought, in terms of h and b.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hotdogs come in packs of 8. The number of hotdogs in h packs can be written as 8h. Buns come in packs of 12. The number of buns in b packs can be written as 12b. 'Total' means add, so the total number of hotdogs and buns is 8h + 12b.
