Q. Kathleen, Greg, and Lisa went to a craft store to buy special beads to make friendship bracelets. Each friend plans to put ss star-shaped beads on their bracelet.\newlinePick all of the expressions that represent how many star-shaped beads the friends should buy.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) s+s+ss + s + s\newline(B) s3s^3\newline(C) 3s3s\newline(D) s+3s + 3
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineEach friend uses ss beads. There are 33 friends.\newlineCalculate total beads needed: s+s+ss + s + s.
  2. Calculate total beads: Simplify the expression.\newlines+s+s=3ss + s + s = 3s.
  3. Simplify the expression: Match the expression to the choices.\newline(A) s+s+ss + s + s is the same as 3s3s.\newline(C) 3s3s directly represents the total beads.
