    Twins Larry and Terry want to buy their dad a great gift for his upcoming birthday. Both boys have been saving all of their dimes and quarters for several months. “I count 928 dimes,” Larry announces. “Great! I count 515 quarters,” Terry says. “But how do we go from knowing the number of coins to the amount of money?” How can Larry and Terry use a mathematical expression to figure out how much money they have in total?
    ::双胞胎拉里和泰瑞都想为他即将到来的生日给父亲买一份大礼。 两位男孩都已经存了几个月的硬币和季度。 “我数了928个硬币 , ” 拉里宣布 。 “ 好!我数了515个季度 , ” 泰瑞说 。 “ 但我们如何从知道硬币的数量到钱的数额? ”拉里和泰瑞如何用数学表达来弄清楚他们有多少钱呢?

    In this concept, you will learn to change words into variable expressions. 
    ::在此概念中,您将学会将单词修改为变量表达式。

    Translating Phrases into Expressions
    ::将词组转换为表达式

    Many problems can be solved using mathematical methods. In order to do this, you must be able to translate words into mathematical expressions. More often than not, the words can be expressed as a variable expression which can be evaluated to solve a problem.
    ::使用数学方法可以解决许多问题。 要做到这一点, 您必须能够将单词转换为数学表达式。 通常情况下, 单词可以表现为可变表达式, 可以被评估来解决问题 。

    You know the symbols + , , × , ÷ , represent the four most commonly used mathematical operations . The operation of multiplication can be represented by the symbol ( × ) or by # (   ) or (   ) (   ) . Division can be represented by the symbol ( ÷ ) or # # .
    ::您知道符号+ + -, x, , 代表四种最常用的数学操作。 乘法的操作可以用符号( x) 或 # () 或 ( egg 表示。 分区可以用符号egg 或 □ 表示 。

    In addition to the words add, subtract, multiply and divide, there is a variety of other words that also correspond to these mathematical operations.
    ::除了添加、减、乘、除等字之外,还有与这些数学操作相对应的各种其他词。

    Let’s start by creating a list of words that could translate into each of the mathematical operations.
    ::让我们首先建立一个可以转换为每个数学操作的单词列表 。

    Mathematical Operations
    Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division
    Add Subtract  Multiply Divide
    Increased by Decreased by Product Quotient
    Plus Minus Times Shared
    Sum Difference Twice Split between
    Total Reduced by Of Divided by
    More Less than    

    Let’s look at an example of translating words into a variable expression.
    ::让我们看看将文字转换成变数表达式的例子。

    Remember that a variable expression has one or more variables (letters) that represent an unknown quantity.
    ::记住变量表达式有一个或多个变量(字母),表示数量未知。

    Write the following as a mathematical expression with one variable:
    ::以一个变量的数学表达式写入以下文字:

    A number increased by four.
    ::数目增加了4个。

    First, name the variable. Let  ‘ n ’ represent the number.
    ::首先,给变量命名。让 'n' 表示数字。

    Next, represent the mathematical operation by its symbol. +
    ::下一步,通过符号代表数学操作。+

    Then, insert the constant after the symbol. 4  
    ::然后,在符号之后插入常数。

    The variable expression is  n + 4 .
    ::变量表达式为 n+4 。

    Let’s look at one more example.
    ::让我们再举一个例子。

    Write the following as a mathematical expression with two variables:
    ::写入以下带有两个变量的数学表达式:

    Twice the length less three times the width.
    ::长度比宽度少两倍。

    First, name the variables. Let ‘ l ’ represent length and let  ‘ w ’ represent width.
    ::首先,给变量命名。让“l”代表长度,让“w”代表宽度。

    Next, represent any operations performed on the variables. 2 l and  3 w
    ::下一步,代表根据变量 2. 陆地 3w 进行的任何操作。

    Then, represent the mathematical operation by its symbol.
    ::然后,用符号代表数学操作。 -

    The variable expression is 2 l 3 w .
    ::变量表达式是2l-3w。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Larry and Terry and all their dimes and quarters.
    ::之前,你得到一个问题 关于拉里和泰瑞 以及他们所有的钱和住处。

    Larry and Terry need to write a variable expression to show the value of ‘ d ’ dimes and ‘ q ’ quarters.
    ::Larry和Terry需要写一个变量表达式, 以显示`d ' 硬币和`q ' 方块的价值。

    First, name the variables. Let ‘ d ’ be the number of dimes. Let ‘ q ’ be the number of quarters.
    ::首先,列出变量。让“d”字成为硬币数。让“q”字成为季度数。

    Next, express the value of the coins as decimals. Ten cents is 0.10 and twenty-five cents is  0.25 .
    ::接下来,以小数表示硬币的值。十分是0.10,二十五分是0.25。

    Next, represent any operation performed on the variables. 0.10 d  and   0.25 q    
    ::下一步,代表根据变量0.10d和0.25q进行的任何操作

    Then, represent the mathematical operation by its symbol. +
    ::然后,通过符号代表数学操作。+

    The variable expression is 0.10 d + 0.25 q
    ::变量表达式为0.10d+0.25q

    How can Larry and Terry use this variable expression to figure out how much money they have?
    ::Larry和Terry怎么能用这个变数表达法 来弄清楚他们有多少钱?

    They have counted the coins and they know they have 928 dimes and 515 quarters.
    ::他们数了硬币 他们知道他们有928块钱和515个季度

    They have to evaluate the variable expression 0.10 d + 0.25 q  when d = 928  and q = 515 .
    ::他们必须评估变量表达式0.10d+0.25q whend=928和q=515。

    First, substitute the values d = 928  and  q = 515 into the expression.
    ::首先,将值d=928和q=515替换为表达式。

    Next, multiply to clear the parenthesis:

    0.10 ( 928 ) + 0.25 ( 515 ) 92.8 + 128.75
     Then, add:
    ::0.10(928)+0.25(515)92.8+128.75 然后,加上:

    92.8 + 128.75 = 221.55

    The answer is $ 221.55
    ::答案是221.55美元

    Larry and Terry can spend $ 221.55 on their dad’s gift.
    ::Larry和Terry可以花221.55美元 支付他们爸爸的礼物

    ::首先,给变量命名。让“x”代表亚当的时代。

    Next, represent any operation performed on the variable. 6
    ::下一步,代表变量 - 6 上进行的任何操作。

    Then, represent the mathematical operation by its symbol. 1 2 (   )
    ::然后,通过符号12egg 代表数学操作

    The variable expression is 1 2 ( x 6 ) .

    ::写入以下带有两个变量的数学表达式:

    Four times the number of dimes less twice the number of quarters.
    ::硬币的四倍 减去季度的两倍

    First, name the variables. Let ‘ d ’ represent the number of dimes. Let ‘ q ’ represent the number of quarters.
    ::首先,给变量命名。让我们“d”代表硬币数量。让我们“q”代表季度数量。

    Next, represent any operation performed on the variables.

    ::然后,通过符号代表数学操作。+

    The answer is + 5 % a and 9 % b .
    ::答案是+5%a和9%b。

    This answer is incorrect. You must multiply by the percent expressed as a decimal. The total is the sum of the taxes on each of the purchases.
    ::此答案不正确 。 您必须乘以小数点表示的百分比。 总计是每件购买的税总额 。

    The answer is 0.05 a + 0.09 b .
    ::答案是0.05a+0.09b。
