Numeric Expressions
Think about the following situation:
|
Jan receives an allowance of $5.00 a week.
For 5 weeks, she has put all of her allowance in a savings
account.
|
|
You can represent Jan¡¯s savings with a numeric
expression. A numeric expression uses numbers and operations
to describe quantities.
Example:
Jan saved $5.00 + $5.00 + $5.00
+ $5.00 + $5.00.
Expressions always contain numbers and operations, but
they do not include an equal sign.
