Question

1. c is 8 more than half of n

2. 7 is less than three fifths of b is a
3. 2.5 more than the quotient of h and 3 is w

Answer 1

1.) c = 8 + n/2

2) (3/5)b - 7 = a

3) h/3 + 2.5 = w

Hope this explains it.

Answer 2

Question 1:

half the number n is
`(1)/(2) n`

8 more means that we will add more

Therefore:

c =
`(1)/(2) n` + 8

Question 2:

three fifth of b is
`(3)/(5) b`

7 less means that we will subtract 7 from the given amount

This means that:

a =
`(3)/(5) b` - 7

Question 3:

the quotient of h and 3 means that we will divide h by 3 giving
`(h)/(3)`

2.5 more means that we will add 2.5

This means that:

w =
`(h)/(3)` + 3

Hope this helps :)
