Question

54 and 67 use numbers and operations to write each phrase as an expression

Answer 1

The phrases you would like to be written as expressions are not listed. I would nevertheless, explain how to write phrases as expressions so that the same approach could be applied to you own question.

Phrases are dynamic, depending on the problem. They do not necessarily take a particular form.

The constant thing about phrases is the operators connecting the words in the phrases. Theses operators are:

Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Division (÷), and Multiplication (×).

In word problems, it is a matter of interpretation, these operators can be written in many ways.

ADDITION

plus

the sum of

increase

grow

add

profit

And so on.

SUBTRACTION

minus

loss

decrease

reduce

subtract

And so on

MULTIPLICATION

times

multiply

triple

And so on

DIVISION

split

share

divide

distribute

And so on.
