Express(ion) Yourself

An algebraic expression can be used to describe an everyday situation. For example, suppose the expression
10 × h, or 10h, tells the number of pages of a book you can read in a given number of hours. This means that in 1 hour you can read 10 × 1, or 10, pages.

Working with a partner, write several everyday situations for each expression below. Share your work with other pairs.
