Question

How do you translate “ 50 divided by a number h “ into a mathematical expression ?

Answer 1

Hint: In order to determine the mathematical expression from the above statement ,first we have to understand the statement carefully . Split the statement and take out the terms used and find the meaning . . Like in the given question , the term ‘ divided ‘ is a term which we generally use in the place of the division . A ‘ Number ‘ term is used for defining an operand , to which we simply call it ‘ variable ’ and here variable name is already given to us h .

Complete step by step solution:
In order to write any mathematical expression from some words and figures , we must first find the relationship and the quantities specified .
Here in this question the relation between a number let suppose h is that it's saying that something number R in the form of variable taken here as per question . So here we are dividing 50 by number ‘ h ‘ which means division of 50 with the number h .
So we are replacing the “ 50 divided by a number h “ line from the sentence with the division symbol
 $ 50 \div h $
We can replace the symbol and write in the form of numerator and the denominator . So , “Divided by ” means that the 50 is the numerator and the variable h is the denominator . We can represent the this mathematically as –
  $ \dfrac{{50}}{h} $
So now our question has become perfect to say that “ 50 divided by a number h “ . It can be written mathematically as -
 $ \dfrac{{50}}{h} $ .
So, the correct answer is “ $ \dfrac{{50}}{h} $ .”.

Note: An expression is a mathematical sentence made up of terms.
Understand the mathematical expression carefully .
Make choice of appropriate terms as per the operations and symbols used .
If an unknown number is given then try to suppose a variable name to that number .
Try to keep things clear and distinct by solving the question part by part or term wise .
Split the expression and take out the terms used and try to give the meaningful name to the operations used .
An algebraic expression can contain any number of variables generally we take 2-3 variables .
Let assume a expression
 $ 5x + 9 = 24 $
It is a mathematical equation having LHS (Left-Hand-Side) equal to RHS (Right-Hand-Side)
Where $ x $ is the variable .
