Variable and Verbal Expressions Write each as an algebraic expression Will Medal!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.half of 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2. the product of 8 and 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3. The quotient of 18 and n Need a good explanation on how to make an equation out of these problems

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

oh what is an algebaric expression? do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that can contain ordinary numbers, variables (like x or y) and operators (like add,subtract,multiply, and divide). soo... 1.14 divided by 0.5(this is half) = 7 2. 8 * 12 = (multiply 8 times 12) 3. 18 divided by n= these are formed from the indicator words such as quotient, product, and the word "half of" which indicates a division problem and of indicated which number will be divided :D

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

and if u don't want to multiply the answer to 2 is 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain to me question number 3 the quotient of 18 and n. How I would write out that equation. What does quotient mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Product is multiplication?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

yes product is multiplication

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

quotient is the answer to a division problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok got it so number 3 would be...

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

18/n= UN un being un known number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18 over n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it now, thanks:)

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

yes over being division :D u know the little division thing you write :D

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

You are welcome if u have anymore questions just tag me in
