Aceramic artist can shape a pot in 3 minutes. it takes 10 minutes to fire one batch of pots in the kiln. if there are p pots in a batch, which expression represents the time it takes to shape and fire one batch of pots? how long will it take the potter to form and fire a batch of 10 pots? a. the expression is 3p. it takes 30 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

b. the expression is 3p − 10. it takes 20 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

c. the expression is 3(p + 10). it takes 60 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

d. the expression is 3p + 10. it takes 40 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

D. The expression is . It takes 40 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pots in a batch = p

Now, one pot takes 3 minutes to get in a shape.

Then, 'p' pots will take minutes to get in a shape.

Also, it takes 10 minutes to fire one batch of pots.

Thus, the expression for the time taken to form one batch of pots =

So, when number of pots = 10 i.e. p= 10.

Time taken to fire the pots = = 30+10 = 40

That is, 'It takes 40 minutes to shape and fire 10 pots'.

Thus, option D is correct.

good luck on your studies! : )
