Bailey is planting an outdoor garden. She wants the length of the planting area to be twice as large as the width. If she has 128 square feet of soil to work with, what dimensions must the garden be?
::贝利正在种植户外花园。 她希望种植面积的长度是宽度的两倍。 如果她有128平方英尺的土壤可以工作,那么花园的尺寸应该有多大?Algebraic Models
::代数模型Word problems are some of the hardest types of problems for students to grasp. There are a few steps to solving any word problem :
::语言问题是学生最难面对的问题。Step 1: Read the problem at least twice.
::步骤1:至少两次阅读问题。Step 2: Cross out any unnecessary words, circle any numbers or words that represent mathematical operators, or translate words into mathematical expressions.
::第2步:将任何不必要的单词、任何数字或代表数学运算符的单词、或将单词转换为数学表达式的单词划开来。Step 3: Write an equation and solve.
::第三步 写一个方程和解析。To help you with Steps 2 and 3, generate a list of words that represent: add, subtract, multiply, divide, equal, etc. Here are a few to get you started.
::为了帮助您处理步骤2和步骤3, 生成一个代表单词列表 : 添加、 减、 乘、 除、 等等 。 这里有一些可以让您启动 。Operator words Operator words add sum, plus, and increase, more (than) multiply times, of, product double (x2), triple (x3) subtract difference , minus decrease, less (than) equal is, total, to made/make, spend/spent divide quotient, half, ÷2 split, share variable how many __

::让我们用这个图表来帮助您解码下面的单词问题 。-
Two
consecutive
numbers add up to 55. What are the two numbers?
::连续两个数字加起来等于55个数字,这两个数字是什么?
First, translate the statement. “Consecutive” means numbers that are one after the other. So if the first number is , then the second number will be , and they add up to (equal) 55. The equation is:
::首先,翻译语句。 “ concective” 表示数字是一对一。 所以, 如果第一个数字是 x, 那么第二个数字将是 x+1, 然后它们加起来等于( 相等) 55。 方程式是: x+( x+1)=55 。We put in parenthesis to show that it is a separate value . Solve the equation.
::我们在括号中插入 x+1 以显示它是单独的值。 解析方程 。
::x+(x+1)=552x+1=552x=552x=54x=27The smaller number is 27, and the larger number will be 28, since
::人数少为27人,人数多为28人,因为27+28=55Sometime you may encounter problems with “consecutive even numbers” or “consecutive odd numbers.” All even numbers are divisible by 2, so the smallest should be , then the next even number would be . For consecutive odd numbers, they will always be an even number plus 1, 3, 5, etc. So, the smaller odd number would be and the larger odd number would be .
::有时候,你可能会遇到“连续偶数”或“连续奇数”的问题。 所有偶数都可以除以 2 。 因此,最小的数字应该是 2x, 下一个偶数应该是 2x+2 。 对于连续的奇数,它们永远是一个偶数+ 1, 3, 5 等。 因此,较小的奇数将是 2x+1 , 较大的奇数将是 2x+3 。-
Over the Winter Break, you worked at a clothing store and made $9.00 an hour.
During
the two weeks you worked 65 hours
at
regular pay and 10 hours of overtime (
1.5 times regular pay, or 'time and a half'
). How much money did you make?
::在冬季休息期间,你在一个服装店工作,每小时挣9.00美元,在这两周内,你按正常工资工作65小时,加班10小时(正常工资1.5倍,或“时间半”)。你挣了多少钱?
First, we need to figure out how much you make for overtime. 'Time and a half' would be per hour. So, you made:
::首先,我们需要弄清楚你加班挣多少钱。“时间半”是9.00+4.50美元=每小时13.50美元。所以,你做了:-
Elise is taking piano lessons. The first lesson is twice as expensive as each additional lesson. Her mom spends $270 for 8 lessons. How much was the first lesson?
::伊莉斯在学钢琴,第一课比其他课贵两倍,她妈妈花了270美元8课。第一课多少钱?
Translate each statement.
::翻译每个声明。Call the regularly priced lessons . Then, the first lesson will be .
::然后,第一堂课将是21号课。"Mom spends $270 for 8 lessons"
::"妈妈花270美元8次上课"... ...2l+7l=270美元Solve:
::解决 :
::2l+7l=270l=30The regularly priced lessons are $30. The first lesson will be $60.
::定期的课价是30美元 第一课是60美元Examples
::实例Example 1
::例1Earlier, you were asked to find the dimensions the garden must be if Bailey wants the length to be twice as long as the width.
::早些时候,有人要求你 找到花园的尺寸 如果贝利想要长度是宽度的两倍If the width is , then the length will be . The area of the soil is 128 square feet and the formula for area is .
::如果宽度为 w,则长度为 2w。土壤面积为128平方英尺,区域公式为A=lw。
::128=2wwww128=2w264=2w28=wwTechnically, the answer could also be but because we are talking about length, cannot be negative. Therefore , the width is 8 feet and the length is
::从技术上讲,答案也可能是 - 8, 因为648, 但由于我们谈论的是长度, 所以不可能是负的。 因此宽度是8英尺, 长度是2w=16英尺。Example 2
::例2Bob is twice as old as his daughter. In that same year, his granddaughter is one-tenth his daughter's age. His granddaugther is 3. How old is Bob?
::同年,他的孙女是女儿的十分之一,他的外孙女是女儿的3岁。Rewrite each statement as a mathematical one.
::将每个语句重写为数学语句 。
::b=2d10g=d =2d10g=dNow, plug in the granddaughter's age and work through each equation.
::现在,插上孙女的年龄 并且通过每一个方程工作。
::103=30b=230Bob is 60 years old.
::鲍勃60岁了Example 3
