Write as an expression: 3 times a number

Step by step

The question

Question: write with math signs: 3 times a number.

1 Change words to math

2 Put it in order

3 × n is written 3n: the number goes in front, with no × sign.

So we get 3n.

3 Check

Let's check with a number.

Say the number is 10.

3 times 10 is 30.

And 3(10) is 30 too.

So 3n is right!

Let's look back.

First: change words to math.

Then: put it in order.

Last: check.
