Question

Write the following statement using variables , constants and arithmetic operations.

One-fourth of the product 'p' and 'q'

$\frac{pq}{4}$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Consider the parenthesis as shown in the above image to write a statement

using variables, constants and arithmetic operations:

Here, the given statement is one fourth of the product $p$ and $q$.

The word one fourth is same as $\frac{1}{4}$ and the word 'product' suggests multiplication, so, the product of $p$ and $q$ means $p\times q=pq$.

Therefore, the verbal expression one fourth of the product $p$ and $q$ can be represented by the algebraic expression $\frac{pq}{4}$.

Hence, the statement one fourth of the product $p$ and $q$ can be rewritten as $\frac{pq}{4}$.
