Question

Which phrase correctly represents the algebraic expression 3t?

A. The sum of three and a number.
B. The product of three and a number.
C. The quotient of three and a number.
D. The difference of three and a number.

Answer 1

Answer is B
when a number is by a variable with nothing between them like a plus minus or division sign you always multiply

Answer 2

Answer: B






Explanation: When a number is directly followed by a variable (ex. 10y), it indicates multiplication. So in this case, when you dissect the expression 3t, it becomes 3*t. For both addition and subtraction, it would be the normal format: 3+t and 3-t. For division it would be 3 over t (fraction format).
