1. Joy's keyboarding speed if Joy types twice as fast as Monique
2. The perimeter of a rectangle 24 units long and W units wide
3. The average of the three numbers p, q, and r
1. Let's say Monique's typing speed is represented by the variable m. Then Joy's keyboarding speed, which is twice as fast as Monique, can be represented by the expression 2m.
2. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the length is 24 units and the width is W units. Therefore, the expression for the perimeter is 2(24) + 2W, which simplifies to 48 + 2W.
3. The average of three numbers p, q, and r is calculated by adding them up and dividing the sum by 3. Therefore, the expression for the average is (p + q + r)/3.
1. Let x be Monique's typing speed. Joy's keyboarding speed would be 2x.
2. The perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 24 units and width of W units is given by the expression 2(24 + W).
3. The average of the three numbers p, q, and r is given by the expression (p + q + r)/3.
