Answer:

x/8

Explanation:

First, we are given "the quotient of...". This means that we are dividing something/something else. If two numbers are given in the phrase "something and something else", the first number given will be the something, and the second number will be the something else.

The first number listed is x. Therefore, we have

x/something else.

Next, we are given "and 8", so we have x/8 as our expression
