- John has 9 more than 5 times the number of LEGO blocks that Matthew has. Matthew has 345 LEGO blocks. How many does John have?
- Algebraic Expression: 5m + 9
- Evaluate: 5 * 345 + 9 = 1,734
- Lucy has 1/3 as much money as Samantha. Samantha has $12.69. How much does Lucy have?
- Algebraic Expression: s / 3
- Evaluate: 12.69 / 3 = 4.23
- A window cleaner cleans 34 windows an hour. At this rate, how many windows will he clean in 8 hours?
- Algebraic Expression: 34h
- Evaluate: 34 * 8 = 272
- A worker gets paid $100 dollars a day and $0.50 for every mile he drives. He drove 245 miles. How much did he get paid?
- Algebraic Expression: 0.5m + 100
- Evaluate: 0.5 * 245 + 100 = 222.5
