QuestionWhich expression equals three times the product of 14 and 9? (A) $3+(14 \times 9)$ (B) $(14+9) \times 3$ (C) $3 \times(14 \times 9)$ (D) $(14 \times 9) \div 3$

Studdy Solution
Now that we have the number, we can compare this with the given options to find the correct expression.The correct expression should give us the number378 when evaluated.
(A) $3+(14 \times9)$ = $3+126$ = $129$
(B) $(14+9) \times3$ = $23 \times3$ = $69$
(C) $3 \times(14 \times9)$ = $3 \times126$ = $378$
(D) $(14 \times9) \div3$ = $126 \div3$ = $42$
From the above calculations, we can see that option (C) gives us the correct number.
So, the expression that represents a number that is three times as great as the product of14 and9 is $3 \times(14 \times9)$.
