Question

PLEASE HELP!!

which expression means "2 less than the quotient of a number and 4"?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we can represent "2 less than" as a subtraction of 2 from some value (indicated by the blank).

`\square - 2`

Next, we can fill in the blank with "the quotient of a number and 4", which means that a number (x) is being divided by 4.

B.
`\boxed{(x)/(4) - 2}`

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a quotient is "a result obtained by dividing one quantity by another".
