Your question is a little unclear. What do you mean by "expressions of numbers"? Could you give examples?

In general, numbers are either nouns (The total is 175. I need ten of those pencils. Does that say 5 or 3?) or adjectives (There are 35 students in this class.).

From an ESL book:

Example:
A cruise that lasts three days: a three-day cruise

Now it is your turn:
a shark that is four meters long: _____________________________
a cruise ship that carries 3,000 passengers: _____________________
a trip that lasts ten days: __________________
