Question

what is the correct algebraic expression of the following statement?the quotient of two consecutive positive integers with the largest number as the denominator.x/(x+1)1/x(x+1)/xx/1

Answer 1

The quotient of 2 numbers is the result you get when the divide both numbers.

The denominator is the bottom number, while the numerator is the number on top in a quotient.

Example:

`(A)/(B)`

A is the numerator, while B is the denominator.

Here, let x represent the smaller interger.

Given that the quotient of two consecutive positive integers with the larger number as the denominator, it means the denominator will be greater than the numerator by 1.

Thus, we have:

Numerator(smaller integer) = x

Denominator(larger integer) = (x + 1)

Therefore, the quotient is:

`(x)/((x+1))`

ANSWER:

`(x)/((x+1))`
