Pick the expression that matches the description.
The sum of 3 and 5, multiplied by 4.
A word phrase and a numerical expression say the same thing in two languages. This exercise tests your translation skill — read a description and pick the expression with the right operations and brackets.
What does this generator do?
Picks one of four word patterns and four similar-looking expressions. Only one matches; the others are common traps.
How to use it
Read the phrase carefully. Where does "the sum of" stop? Is the multiplication of all of it, or just one part? Brackets are usually the giveaway: "the sum of … multiplied by …" puts the sum in brackets.
