Question

Which of the following best describes the English expression the quotient of four and the sum of a number and three? A. 4/x+3 B. x+3/4 C.4/x+3 D.x/4+3

Answer 1

Quotient means division, which is obvious by all the division answers.
It says "Quotient of 4 AND ..." which means that four will be on top and everything else will be on the bottom.

So now you have:

`(4)/(?)`
four over something unknown.

Reading the rest of the question, "the sum of a number and three"
Sum means addition, again obvious by the answer choices.
"a number" is an unknown, so we can set that to x
and this x is being added to by three, so therefore
x+3 would be in your denominator.

You final equation should look like this:;

`(4)/(x+3)`
OR answer choice A
