Chapter 1.8, Problem 2CB

To determine

To translate: The equation $\frac{2}{5}v+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{3}{x}^2$ into a sentence.

Answer to Problem 2CB

The required sentence is “The quotient of two and five times v plus the quotient of three and four is equal to two-third of x squared”.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation $\frac{2}{5}v+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{3}{x}^2$

Calculation:

= may be stated as “is equal to”

  $\frac{2}{3}$

can be written as:

Two-third

  $x^2$

can be written as:

x squared.

  $\frac{2}{5}v$

can be written as:

The quotient of two times v and five.

  $\frac{3}{4}$

can be written as:

The quotient of three and four .

So the equation $\frac{2}{5}v+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{3}{x}^2$

can be written as:

The quotient of two times v and five plus the quotient of three and four is equal to two-third of x squared.
