Question

Write at least 2 numerical expressions for each written phrase below. Then, solve.

a. Three fifths of seven
b. One sixth the product of four and eight

Answer 1

a.
`(3)/(5)(7)\text{ or }(3* 7)/(5)`

b.
`(1)/(6)(4* 8)\text{ or }(4* 8)/(6)`

Explanation:

In numerical expressions we write numbers with the mathematical symbols ( i.e. '+', '-' etc )

a. Given phrase,

Three fifths of seven,

`(3)/(5)(7)`

`=(3* 7)/(5)`

`=(21)/(5)`

`=4(1)/(5)`

b. One sixth the product of four and eight,

`(1)/(6)(4* 8)`

`=(4* 8)/(6)`

`=(32)/(6)`

`=5(1)/(3)`
