Question

Write an algebraic expression for each word expression then evaluate the expression for these values of the variable 1, 6, 13.5. five the quotient of 100 and the sum of B and 24

Answer 1

the quotient of 100 and the sum of B and 24

Explanation:

The word expression is: "the quotient of 100 and the sum of B and 24"

The algebraic expression is: 100 / (B + 24)

To evaluate this expression for the values 1, 6, and 13.5, we substitute each value in turn for B and simplify:

When B = 1:

100 / (1 + 24) = 100 / 25 = 4

When B = 6:

100 / (6 + 24) = 100 / 30 = 3.33...

When B = 13.5:

100 / (13.5 + 24) = 100 / 37.5 = 2.666...

Therefore, the values of the expression for B = 1, 6, and 13.5 are approximately 4, 3.33, and 2.67, respectively.
