Answer;


A

Explanation;

Here we want to write an algebraic expression

The quotient of 24 and 6 less than m

Mathematically, 6 less than m means we are to subtract 6 from m

We can have this as;


m-6

Quotient means the result of a division

So, basically, we are to divide 24 by the expression

Mathematically, we have this as;


(24)/(m-6)
