1.	Write the following statements as expressions(i) x reduced by 5(ii) 8 more than twice of k(iii) Half of y(iv) One fourth of product of b and c(v) One less than three times of p
Answer» (i) Given x reduced by 5 = x – 5 (ii) Given 8 more than twice of k = 2k + 8 (iii) Given Half of y = 1/2 of y = y/2 (iv) Given One fourth of product of b and c = 1/4 of b xc = 1/4 x bc = bc/4 (v) Given One less than three times of p = 3 times of p – 1 = 3 ∙ p – 1

Write the following statements as expressions(i) x reduced by 5(ii) 8 more than twice of k(iii) Half of y(iv) One fourth of product of b and c(v) One less than three times of p

Answer»

(i) Given x reduced by 5 = x – 5

(ii) Given 8 more than twice of k = 2k + 8

(iii) Given Half of y = 1/2 of y = y/2

(iv) Given One fourth of product of b and c

= 1/4 of b xc

= 1/4 x bc = bc/4

(v) Given One less than three times of p

= 3 times of p – 1

= 3 ∙ p – 1
