Question

Translate the sentence into an equation using n as the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. The quotient of a number divided by 6 is 3.5.

Answer 1

n/6 = 3.5
Multiply both sides by 6.
n = 21

Answer 2

`(n)/(6)=3.5`

n= 21

Explanation:

The equation is simple, you just have to reason the sentence, the quotient of a number, this means that the result of the division is 3.5, and the number has to be divided by 6, so the equation would end up looiking like this:

`(n)/(6)=3.5`

As 6 is dividing and you want to clear N, you just put it on the other side of the equation multiplying, and you end up with this:

n=6(3.5)

n=21

So your answer for this equation would be n= 6.
