Question

A number is divided by three and multiplied by the square of a second number. The product is then divided by three. Write the algebraic term for the given statements using $p$ as the first number and $q$ as the second number.

• A. $9p{q}^2$
• B. $\frac{p{q}^2}{9}$
• C. $\frac{p{q}^2}{3}$
• D. $3p{q}^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{p{q}^2}{9}$

First number is $p$ and second number is $q$, thus result becomes $\frac{p\times q^2}{3\times 3}$ = $\frac{p{q}^2}{9}$
