Question

How do you write the following as an algebraic expression using x as the variable: A number of apples divided into 12 baskets ?

Answer 1

`x/12`

Explanation:

Let `x` be the number of apples since the question did not define the number of apples as a constant, we shall make the number of apples the variable.

When the number of apples is `x`,

`x/12` is the expression for the number of apples divided into `12` baskets.
