How can expressions be written and evaluated to solve for unknowns in the real world?
Writing expressions requires figuring out which quantity in a situation is unknown, and define a variable to represent that quantitiy.
We look for words in the problem that will help us out what kind of operation to use in a given situation.
Example:
Donna bought 5 chocolate bars, and then ate some. Write an expression to represent how many chocolate bars Donna has left.
If we let the variable c represent the number of chocolates Donna has eaten, then we can write the expression on how many bars Donna has left as: 5 - c

Simplify the expression.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
This question basically asks for the LCM of 3 and 5, which is 3 x 5 =15
This is the answer: 15
Check : The first rectangle had 1/3 shaded; ( one in every three parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 5 would be shaded ( 1/3 = 5/15)
The second rectangle had 2/5 shaded ( two for every five parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 6 would be shaded (2/5 = 6/15)
<span>77.5% can also be written as 77.5/100, but if you're the mathematical notation police, people don't like decimals on a fraction, sooo, an equivalent form is: </span>
<span>
= (77.5)/(100) * (2/2)
= 155/200
= 31/40
= 0 31/40 </span>
