A

Step-by-step explanation:

-Long way

1.) Add all the numbers of people together (60)

2.) Divide all the students aka.540 by 60. (9)

3.) Multiply 9 by all the numbers.

=Answer for all. (Double check)

-Mental math

1.) look at chart

2.) compare 8 and 7

3.) figure out which is larger.

=Answer of A

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
