i need to define a variable and write an algebraic expression for each phraase.
1) two points few than 3 times the number of points scored yesterday.
i wrote: 3p-2 =
2) one metere more than 6 times your height in meters
i wrote: 1 + 6h
3) seven pages fewer than half the number of pages read last week
i wrote: 1/2p - 7 =
4) 8 pounds less than five times the weight of a chicken in pounds
i wrote: 5c -8 =
5) twice the distance in miles flown last year , plus 100 miles
i wrote: 2d + 100
are these right?
yes those are correct
All are correct! :-)
great thanks matt and Ms. Sue.
thanks very much!
You're very welcome, Marko.
your welcome
Yes, your algebraic expressions are correct! Great job.
1) The expression 3p-2 represents "two points fewer than 3 times the number of points scored yesterday."
2) The expression 1 + 6h represents "one meter more than 6 times your height in meters."
3) The expression 1/2p - 7 represents "seven pages fewer than half the number of pages read last week."
4) The expression 5c - 8 represents "8 pounds less than five times the weight of a chicken in pounds."
5) The expression 2d + 100 represents "twice the distance in miles flown last year, plus 100 miles."
Well done on correctly defining the variables and constructing appropriate algebraic expressions for each phrase!
