I need to write algebraic expressions:
for these 6 sentecnces
1) four more shirt than s shirts
2) the quotient of p and 5
3) the sum of t tv's and 11 tv's
4) five times your quiz score q
5) nine cards fewer than e cards
6) divide the total points p by 3
heres what i got:
1) s +4
2) p/5
3) t +11
4) 5 (q)
5) e -9
6) 60/3
are these correct?
6 is correct only if p=60
Others look good
sorry yes i meant p/3
thanks for checking.
1) To express "four more shirts than s shirts," you are correct with the expression (s + 4). It means you start with s shirts and add four more.
2) "The quotient of p and 5" translates to the algebraic expression (p/5). Here, you are dividing p by 5.
3) For "the sum of t TVs and 11 TVs," your expression (t + 11) is correct, representing the addition of t TVs and 11 more TVs.
4) "Five times your quiz score q" is represented by the expression (5q). It means you take your quiz score q and multiply it by five.
5) Regarding "nine cards fewer than e cards," your expression (e - 9) is correct. It indicates that you start with e cards and subtract nine from them.
6) Lastly, "divide the total points p by 3" can be expressed as (p/3). You are dividing the total points p by 3.
Overall, your expressions are correct! Well done!
