The number of carrots, c, is four less than twice the number of peas, p.

Which expression represents the number of carrots in terms of the number of peas?

1. p-4/2

2. 2p-4

3. p/2-4

4. 4p-2

Given that the number of carrots, c is 4 less than twice the number of peas, p, then:

twice the number of peas will be:

2*p=2p

four less than twice p will be:

2p-4

therefore the expression will be:

c=2p-4

the answer is 2. 2p-4.

The number of carrots, c, in terms of the number of peas, p, is thus calculated at 2p-4. The '-4' represents the four less, while the 2p denotes twice the number of peas.
