Which steps could be used to solve this story problem?

at the art store paint costs $5, brushes cost $3, and packs of pastel crayons cost $13. kari bought 3 pots of paint, 4 brushes, and 3 packs of pastel crayons.

how much money did kari spend?

a.
divide $13 ÷ 3. then add $5 and 4. then add the quotient and the sum together and subtract 3.

b.
add $5 and 3. then add $3 and 4. then add $13 and 3. then add the 3 sums together.

c.
multiply $5 × 3. then multiply $3 by 4. then multiply $13 by 3. then add the products together.

d.
subtract 3 from $13. then subtract $3 from 4. add the two differences together and multiply by $5.

she played for 18.75 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

if she played 2/4 of a hour on tuesday. and there is 60 minutes in an hour and 60 divided by 4 is 7.5. and she played 2/4 of an hour on thursday then again 60 divided by 4 is 7.5, you add 7.5+7.5=56.25. now you have to do 1/4 of an hour, it equals 3.75. now you have to add them all up. 3.75+7.5+7.5=18.75

i hope this and i hope you get it right. it took me a while to get this done for you. : )

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
