Math Problem Statement

Write an expression for the sequence of operations: triple n, then divide 3 by the result.

Solution

The problem asks for writing an expression based on the following sequence of operations:

  1. Triple nn.
  2. Then divide 3 by the result of tripling nn.

The key points are:

  • "Triple nn" means multiplying nn by 3, or 3n3n.
  • "Divide 3 by the result" means dividing 3 by 3n3n.

So the correct expression is:

33n\frac{3}{3n}

  2. How do you express "subtracting a number from the result" in algebraic terms?
  3. Can you write an expression for halving a number nn and then dividing 4 by the result?
  4. How would you express dividing 5 by the sum of nn and 2?
  5. What would the expression be if you had to divide nn by the result of tripling 3?
