How to determine the algebraic representation of the expression

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

One hundred divided by the quantity three times fives

By definiton:

  • One hundred means 100
  • Divide means quotient
  • three times fives means 3 * 0.5

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

100/(3 * 0.5)

When solved, we have

100/(1.5)

Hence, the expression is 100/(3 * 0.5)

For this case we have:

One hundred equals 100

three times fives equals
3 (5) = 15

So, rewriting the expression we have:


\frac {100} {3 * 5} = \frac {20} {3}

Answer:

One hundred divided by the quantity three times fives is equivalent to
\frac {20} {3}
