Question

What equation best represents the following sentence? The quotient of a number and twelve is the sum of eight and the number.

Choices:

a n/12 = 8n
b n x 12 = 8 + n
c 12/n = 8 + n
d n/12 = 8 + n

Answer 1

d n/12 = 8 + n. The equation that represents the sentence is n/12 = 8 + n.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that best represents the sentence 'The quotient of a number and twelve is the sum of eight and the number' is d n/12 = 8 + n.

Let's break down the sentence into an equation:

Quotient of a number and twelve: n/12

Sum of eight and the number: 8 + n

Combining these two parts, the equation becomes: n/12 = 8 + n

This equation represents the given sentence and accurately expresses the relationship described in the sentence.
