Translating Words into Algebraic Expressions with Fractions
In this lesson, students will translate word problems into algebraic expressions that include fractions, and then evaluate these expressions using common denominators. Through practical examples, students will learn to express relationships, such as the miles skated by Troy compared to Kade, and the words typed by Merland compared to Aliza. The lesson culminates in exercises where students will evaluate expressions and solve problems related to real-world scenarios involving algebraic concepts.

Students will translate words into algebraic expressions with fractions and evaluate them using common denominators.
1) Troy skateboarded miles less than Kade. If Kadeboards k miles, what algebraic expression represents the number of miles Troy skateboards?
2) Merland texts 17 words per minute faster than Aliza. If Aliza types t words per minute, what algebraic expression represents the number of words per minutes that Merland types?
