Write an expression for the calculation divide 15 into thirdsand subtract from 14 divided in half

Sagot :

15 into thirds would be 15 divided by three. This would be 5. If you take 14 and divide it in half you get 7. Then subtract 5 from 7 and you get 2. The answer is 2.

Let

A------> [tex] 15 [/tex] into thirds

B------> [tex] 14 [/tex] divided in half

we know that

[tex]A=\frac{15}{3}\\\\ A=5\\\\ B = \frac{14}{2}\\\\ B=7[/tex]

so

the expression is equal to

[tex]expression=B-A\\expression=7-5\\\\expression=2[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

The expression is equal to [tex] 2[/tex]
