Practice 3

Problems

Translate each statement from words into math symbols.

1. Five more than 8.
2. The difference between 10 and 4.
3. Twice 40 is subtracted from 100.
4. The quotient of 21 and 7 is not more than 4.
5. Twenty decreased by 6 has a result of 14.
6. The product of 12 and 3 is at least 36.

Solutions

1. 8 + 5. The key phrase more than means "addition."
2. 10 – 4. The key word difference means "subtraction."
3. 100 – 2 × 40. The phrase twice forty means "multiply 40 by 2." This value is subtracted from 100, so the order in the expression is the reverse of the order in the statement.
4. 21 ÷ 7 ≤ 4. The key word quotient means "divide." The key phrase is not more than means "is less than or equal to."
5. 20 – 6 = 14. The key phrase decreased by means "subtraction" and the key phrase has a result of means "is equal."
6. 12 × 3 ≥ 36. The key word product means "multiply" and the key phrase at least means "greater than or equal to."
