A matrix represents the number of boys and girls in two different schools. How many total students are there in both schools?

To determine the total number of students in both schools represented by the matrix, sum up all the entries in the matrix. This will give you the total number of boys and girls across both schools, which represents the total student count.

The price of apples and oranges at two different grocery stores is given in a matrix. What is the total cost of buying 2 apples and 3 oranges?

To find the total cost of buying 2 apples and 3 oranges, you would need to multiply the price of 2 apples from one store with the price of 3 oranges from the same store, and then add the product of the price of 2 apples and 3 oranges from the other store. Finally, add these two totals together to get the overall cost.

A matrix represents the scores of different players in two basketball teams. Which team has the higher total score?

To determine which team has the higher total score, you need to add up the scores in each team's row in the matrix. Whichever team has the higher sum of scores is the team with the higher total score.

The weight of different objects in two boxes is given in a matrix. What is the total weight of all the objects in both boxes?

To find the total weight of all the objects in both boxes, you would calculate the sum of all the weights given in the matrix. Add up all the values in the matrix to get the total weight of all the objects in both boxes.

A matrix represents the distances between different cities. What is the total distance between City A and City B, passing through City C?

To find the total distance between City A and City B, passing through City C, you would sum the distances from A to C, C to B. Add these distances to get the total distance between A and B through C.

The temperature in different cities at two different times is given in a matrix. Which city had the greater temperature change?

To determine which city had the greater temperature change, calculate the absolute difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in each city. Compare these differences, and the city with the larger result will have experienced the greater temperature change.

A matrix represents the number of cars and motorcycles in two parking lots. How many total vehicles are there in both parking lots?

To find the total number of vehicles in both parking lots, simply add together the number of cars and motorcycles in each parking lot from the matrix. Then, sum up the total number of cars and motorcycles in both parking lots to get the total number of vehicles. Let's denote the number of cars and motorcycles in the first parking lot as C1 and M1, and in the second parking lot as C2 and M2 respectively. The total number of vehicles is then C1 + M1 + C2 + M2.

The sales of different products in two stores are given in a matrix. Which store had the higher total sales?

To determine which store had the higher total sales, you need to sum up all the sales figures for each store separately. Then compare the total sales of the two stores to identify the one with the higher sales number. The store with the larger total sales figure would be the one that had the higher overall sales.

A matrix represents the scores of different students in two different exams. Which student had the highest overall score?

To determine which student had the highest overall score, you would need to sum the scores of each student across the two exams. The student with the highest total sum of scores would have the highest overall score.

The number of hours spent studying different subjects by two students is given in a matrix. Which student studied more hours in total?

To determine which student studied more hours in total, you would need to sum up the hours studied by each student across all subjects in the matrix. Compare the total hours studied by each student, and the student with the higher total number of hours studied would have studied more overall.
