Question

Write an expression for the quotient of the quantity m reduced by 3 and 5.

Answer 1

`\displaystyle(m-3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Let us translate it step by step:

m reduced by 3 is subtracting from m, therefore: m - 3

Then the quotient of that and 5 is the division or fractions of m-3 over 5:

`\displaystyle(m-3)/(5)`

That is the expression for the quotient of the quantity m reduced by 3 and 5.
