We have to translate the expression: "the difference of m and the quotient of 3 and k"

The main operation is a difference (substraction). It is applied between the term "m" and a quotient.

This quotient is between 3 and k, so it can be written as "3/k".

Then, the difference becomes:


m-(3)/(k)

Answer: m-3/k
