During week 1, Nurse Cameron works 5 shifts. During week 2, she worked twice as many shifts as she did in week 1. In week 3, she added 4 shifts to the number of shifts worked in week 2. Which equation describes the number of shifts Nurse Cameron worked in week 3?

  • A. Shifts = (2)(5) + 4
  • B. Shifts = (4)(5) + 2
  • C. Shifts = 5 + 2 + 4
  • D. Shifts = (5)(2)(4)
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: During week 1, Nurse Cameron worked 5 shifts. In week 2, she worked twice as many shifts as in week 1, which is 10 shifts. In week 3, she added 4 shifts to the number of shifts worked in week 2. Therefore, the total shifts in week 3 can be calculated as (2)(5) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14 shifts. Choice A correctly represents this calculation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the given scenario and the steps needed to find the total shifts in week 3.
