Olivia must determine which of these four expressions are equivalent to each other.

Expression A: $5x + 6$
Expression B: $3(x + 2)$
Expression C: $3x + 3x + 6$
Expression D: $2x + x +6$

Olivia says that all four expressions are equivalent because the value of each one is 6 when $x = 0$.

Olivia’s thinking is incorrect.

Identify the error in Olivia’s thinking. Determine which of the four expressions are equivalent. Explain or show your process in determining which expressions are equivalent.

Enter your answer and your explanation or process in the space provided.

9.
The diagram shows a number line with a plotted point.
A.
Gale has a string that is $6/8$ yard long. He wants to cut the string into pieces that are each $1/4$ yard long.

How many pieces can Gale cut from the string? Explain how Gale can use the number line diagram to determine the number of pieces he can cut from the string.

Enter your answer and explanation in the space provided.

B.
Write an equation using division that shows how Gale can find the number of pieces he can cut from the string.

Enter your equation in the space provided.

10.
Jason calculated the volume of the rectangular prism shown, in cubic units. Jason's work is shown.

I counted that the prism is 3 cubes wide and 4 cubes long. The base layer can hold 12 cubes since 3 x 4 = 12. The prism is 3 layers high, so I added 12 + 12 + 12 to get a total of 36 cubic units for a volume.
A.
Explain why Jason's reasoning is incorrect. Provide the correct volume, in cubic units, of the prism.

Enter your explanation and the correct volume in the space provided.

B.
A second prism has a base of 20 cubic units and has a volume of 160 cubic units.

What is the height, in unit cubes, of the second prism? Explain or show how you determined the height.

Enter the height and your explanation or work in the space provided.

11.

Part A

Takara is working on a science experiment. She has three different liquids. The table shows the volume, in milliliters (mL), of each liquid.

Liquid Volume
LiquidVolume (mL)
A580
B775
C845

Takara makes a mixture by pouring each of the three liquids into one large container. How many liters of the mixture is in the large container? Show your work or explain your answer.

Enter your answer and your work or explanation in the space provided.

B.
Part B

Takara must now pour equal volumes of the mixture into smaller containers. The maximum volume of each of the small containers is 250 milliliters. What is the fewest number of small containers Takara needs to hold all of the mixture? Show your work or explain your answer.

Enter your answer and your work or explanation in the space provided.

12.
