Answer:

Joel wants to find the quotient of a number and 4, minus thirteen

Explanation:

Given the expression :

n/4 - 13

The options B and D cannot be possible answers as they are referring to products and sums which is not a part of the operation used in the expression.

However, the most appropriate option would be A because,

13 is subtracted from the quotient of n/4 which is what the first option expresses.

What is meant by option C however is :

13 - n/4

Hence. Option A is the correct choice.
