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

Answer:

a. $\frac{3}{5}(7)\text{ or }\frac{3\times 7}{5}$

b. $\frac{1}{6}(4\times 8)\text{ or }\frac{4\times 8}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

a. Given phrase,

Three fifths of seven,

$\frac{3}{5}(7)$

$=\frac{3\times 7}{5}$

$=\frac{21}{5}$

$=4\frac{1}{5}$

b. One sixth the product of four and eight,

$\frac{1}{6}(4\times 8)$

$=\frac{4\times 8}{6}$

$=\frac{32}{6}$

$=5\frac{1}{3}$
