    Which of the following verbal expressions does NOT translate into  n + 3 ?  

    • Add 3 to a number

    • A number plus 3

    • A number decreased by 3

    • 3 more than a number

    Write "the product of 16 and n" as an algebraic expression. 

    Correct Answer
    16n
    Explanation
    The expression "16n" represents the product of 16 and n. This means that you would multiply 16 by the value of n to get the result.

    Which of the following equations could be used to find the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 5cm and 7cm?  

    • A = 5 + 5 + 7 + 7

    • A = 1/2 ( 5 )( 7 )

    • A = 5 + 7

    • A = (5)(7)

    Correct Answer
    A. A = (5)(7)
    Explanation
    The equation A = (5)(7) can be used to find the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 5cm and 7cm. This is because the formula for the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, and in this case, the length is 5cm and the width is 7cm. Therefore, multiplying 5 by 7 gives us the area of the rectangle.

    Write an algebraic expression for  " 18 less than a number x " 

    Correct Answer
    x-18
    x - 18
    Explanation
    The algebraic expression for "18 less than a number x" is x-18. This is because when we subtract 18 from x, we get the result of x being decreased by 18. So, x-18 represents the number x with 18 subtracted from it.

  • 6. 

    Which phrase represents the expression 7x + 2 ?

    • Seven times two plus a number

    • Two times a number plus seven

    • Two less than a number multiplied multiplied by seven

    • Two plus a number multiplied by seven

    Correct Answer
    A. Two plus a number multiplied by seven
    Explanation
    The expression 7x + 2 represents "two plus a number multiplied by seven" because the variable x is being multiplied by seven and then two is added to the result.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Jed reads p pages each day in a 200 page book.  What expression could be used to find the number days it would take to read the book?  

    • 200/p

    • 200p

    • 200 + p

    • 200 - p

    Correct Answer
    A. 200/p
    Explanation
    To find the number of days it would take to read the book, we need to divide the total number of pages (200) by the number of pages Jed reads each day (p). Therefore, the expression that could be used is 200/p.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If Betsy has n quarters.  What expression could be used to find the total value of her coins in dollars?   

    • 25n

    • 0.25 +n

    • 25 + n

    • 0.25n

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.25n
    Explanation
    To find the total value of Betsy's coins in dollars, we need to multiply the number of quarters she has (n) by the value of each quarter in dollars (0.25). Therefore, the expression 0.25n represents the total value of her coins in dollars.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following equations represents the perimeter of a rectangle with sides L and W?  

    • P = (L)(W)

    • P = L + W

    • P = 2L + 2W

    • P = (2L)(2W)

    Correct Answer
    A. P = 2L + 2W
    Explanation
    The equation P = 2L + 2W represents the perimeter of a rectangle with sides L and W. This equation calculates the sum of the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle by adding twice the length (2L) and twice the width (2W).

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which verbal expression does NOT represent   9 - x? 

    • X less than nine

    • X decreased by nine

    • Subtract x from nine

    • The difference of nine and x

    Correct Answer
    A. X decreased by nine
    Explanation
    "x decreased by nine" represents the expression x - 9, not 9 - x. In this expression, x is being decreased by nine, which means that nine is being subtracted from x. Therefore, the correct answer is "x decreased by nine" as it does not represent the expression 9 - x.
