3. Writing Algebraic Expressions Objective: Be able to write an algebraic expression for a word phrase or write a word phrase for an expression.

4. Although they are closely related, a Great Dane weighs about 40 times as much as a Chihuahua. When solving real-world problems, you will need to translate words, or verbal expressions, into algebraic expressions. An expression for the weight of the Great Dane could be 40c, where c is the weight of the Chihuahua.
