    55 4(12 + 5); $68; Sample answer: The expression
    12 + 5 represents the cost of one ticket and one hot
    dog. The expression 4(12 + 5) represents the cost
    of four tickets and four hot dogs. Since 4 × 12 = 48
    and 4 × 5 = 20, find 48 + 20, or 68, to fi nd the total
    cost of four tickets and four hot dogs.

  2. Sample answer: Rewrite 44 + (23 + 16) as
    44 + (16 + 23) using the Commutative Property of
    Addition. Rewrite 44 + (16 + 23) as (44 + 16) + 23
    using the Associative Property of Addition. Find
    44 + 16, or 60, mentally. Then fi nd 60 + 23, or 83,
    mentally. 9. 2(6) + 2(7); 26 11. 4(3 + 8); 44

  3. Sample answer: Rewrite (8 + 27) + 52 as
    (27 + 8) + 52 using the Commutative Property of
    Addition. Rewrite (27 + 8) + 52 as 27 + (8 + 52)
    using the Associative Property of Addition. Find
    8 + 52, or 60, mentally. Then fi nd 60 + 27, or 87,
    mentally. 15. Sample answer: Rewrite 91 +
    (15 + 9) as 91 + (9 + 15) using the Commutative
    Property of Addition. Rewrite 91 + (9 + 15) as
    (91 + 9) + 15 using the Associative Property of
    Addition. Find 91 + 9, or 100, mentally. Then fi nd
    100 + 15, or 115, mentally. 17. Sample answer:
    Rewrite (4 · 18) · 25 as (18 · 4) · 25 using the
    Commutative Property of Multiplication. Rewrite
    (18 · 4) · 25 as 18 · (4 · 25) using the Associative
    Property of Multiplication. Find 4 · 25, or 100,
    mentally. Then fi nd 100 · 18, or 1,800, mentally.
    1919 Sample answer: Rewrite 15 · (8 · 2) as
    15 · (2 · 8) using the Commutative Property of
    Multiplication. Rewrite 15 · (2 · 8) as (15 · 2) · 8
    using the Associative Property of Multiplication.
    Find 15 · 2, or 30, mentally. Then find 30 · 8, or 240,
    mentally.

  4. Sample answer: Rewrite 5 · (30 · 12) as 5 ·
    (12 · 30) using the Commutative Property of
    Multiplication. Rewrite 5 · (12 · 30) as (5 · 12) · 30


using the Associative Property of Multiplication.
Find 5 · 12, or 60, mentally. Then fi nd 60 · 30, or

    99 Find how many passengers are in one run. So,
    multiply 8 by 4. Then divide the number of
    passengers that can ride in one hour by the number
    of passengers that can ride in one run.
    1,056 ÷ 32 = 33. So, 33 runs.

    55 First, fi nd how many inches the plant’s height
    increases each month. Look at the pattern in the
    table.
    Month 123
    Height (in.) 369


+ 3 + 3
The plant’s height increases by 3 inches each
month. Let n represent the number of months. So,
3 n represents the total height after n months.
3 n Write the expression.
3(12) Replace n with 12.
36 Multiply.
So, the plant’s height is 36 inches.
