Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below. multiply g by h, then multiply 3 by the result

Question

do not simplify

Answer 1

Since the question specifically describes the order, (gh) needs to be in parentheses so 3(gh) would be the answer without simplifying, showing the sequence of operations.

Answer 2

The expression for the sequence of operations is: 3 * (g * h). It is important to remember the order of operations, sometimes referred to as "PEMDAS". Hope that helps!

Answer 3

When turning word problems into mathematical expressions, the key is to take each part of the problem and figure out what math term shows the same thing. So, multiply g by h would be g x h. However, when you are multiplying variables (letters) you can just put them next to each other instead of using the "x". So, gh. Multiply 3 by the result: 3gh. That's your answer.
