To determine

To write an algebraic expression for the given verbal expression.

Answer to Problem 13CT

  $\frac{2}{3}{d}^3$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Two thirds of a number d to the third power.

Calculation:

In order to write an algebraic expression for the given verbal expression, observe that two third is multiplied with the third power of a number d .

So, the algebraic expression for the given verbal expression can be written as,

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Two third of }{d}^3\\ =\frac{2}{3}\cdot d^3\\ =\frac{2}{3}{d}^3\end{array}$

Thus, the algebraic expression for the given verbal expression is $\frac{2}{3}{d}^3$ .
