Question

Write a verbal expression for each algebraic expression $\frac{\mathbf{4}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{v}}{\mathbf{w}}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

$v$ less than 4 divided by $w$.

Step 1 –Defining the operations verbally

To write an expresion verbally, the operations defined in the given expression must be written explicitly. For example, $a-b$ must be verbally expressed as b less than a. Similarly, $\frac{a}{b}$ must be verbally expressed as a divided by b.

Step 2 – Example of defining operations verbally

The expression $\frac{a-2b}{c}$ is verbally expressed as by 2 times b less a divided by c.

Step 3 - DESCRIPTION OF STEP

In the given expression $4-v$ can be verbally written as  $v$ less than 4.

Finally, $\frac{4-v}{w}$ can be verbally expressed as less than 4 divided by $w$.
