Writing Algebraic Expressions: Multiplication and Division

The video tutorial teaches how to write algebraic expressions using multiplication and division. It explains the terms associated with these operations and their inverse relationship. Real-world examples, such as calculating earnings and dividing licorice, are used to illustrate these concepts. The importance of order in division is emphasized, showing how it affects the outcome of expressions.

Which of the following is NOT a common term used for multiplication?

• Times

• Quotient

• Doubled

• Product of

If Kelly has four times as many bracelets as Hannah, and Hannah has 2 bracelets, how many does Kelly have?

• 6

• 4

• 8

• 10

What is the algebraic expression for Chad's earnings if he earns $5 per hour and works h hours?

• h - 5

• h/5

• 5h

• 5 + h

If Chad worked 4 hours, how much did he earn?

• $25

• $10

• $15

• $20

What is the expression for the length of each piece if a licorice of n inches is cut into 4 equal parts?

• n / 4

• n + 4

• n - 4

• n * 4

If the original piece of licorice is 12 inches long, what is the length of each piece after division?

• 2 inches

• 3 inches

• 5 inches

• 4 inches

Why is it important to maintain the correct order in division expressions?

• Because it changes the result

• Because it affects the multiplication

• Because it affects the variable

• Because it changes the dividend
