Question

The quotient of a number and three

Answer 1

x/3

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Quotient simply means to divide a number by another number without any remainder.

For example, a quotient of 2 simply means that a number divided by 5 would have a value that is equal to 2 without any remainder; 10/5 = 2.

Therefore, translating the word problem into an algebraic expression we have;

Quotient = x/3
