Question

Eight less than the quotient of x and 3

A:
8−x3

B:
3x−8

C:
x3−8

D:
x−83

Answer 1

Quotient is basically the answer you get when you divide two numbers.
For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 because when I divide 6 by 3, I get 2.

Quotient of x and 3 =
`(x)/(3)`

Eight less than quotient of x and 3 is
`(x)/(3) - 8`.

Hence, the answer is C.
