Thomas ordered 2 japanese comic books and twice that number of american comic books. he also ordered 4 spanish comic books. thomas told his mom he ordered 8 comic books.
was thomas's calculation reasonable?
a.
yes, it is reasonable because 2 + 2 + 4 = 8.
b.
no, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 = 6.
c.
no, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 + 4 = 10.

Thomas' answer of 8 comic books is 

C. No, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 + 4 = 10

He ordered 2 Japanese comic books, so that's 2.

Then twice that number of American comic books, that would be 4.

And then the 4 Spanish comic books.

So, it would be 2 Japanese, 4 American, and 4 Spanish.

2+ 4 + 4 = 10

Hope this helps.

C. No, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 + 4 = 10.

the answer is 3/2 and for decimal: 1.5
