Question

How do you define a variable and write an expression for each phrase: the quotient of 6 times a number and 16?

Answer 1

`(6n)/16`

Explanation:

Let the variable be `n` for the number.

Quotient is the answer to a division. The word 'and' tells you it is the division between (6 times a number) and 16.

`6` times a number is written as `6 xx n = 6n`

The quotient is therefore `6n div 16`

`(6n)/16`
