Question

Which two operations are needed to write the expression that represents “five less than the quotient of a number and three”?

Answer 1

Explanation:

division and subtraction

Answer 2

'<' (lessthan symbol) and '/' (division symbol) are the two operations needed here to represent the given expression

In the expression
`5<((x)/(3))` we are using the '<' (lessthan symbol) and '/' (division symbol)

The expression that represents “five less than the quotient of a number and three” is
`5<((x)/(3))`

Explanation:

Given that “five less than the quotient of a number and three”

To find the two operations that are needed to write the given expression :

Let x be the number

“five less than the quotient of a number and three”

can be written as below

`5<((x)/(3))`

Therefore “five less than the quotient of a number and three”=
`5<((x)/(3))`

The expression that represents “five less than the quotient of a number and three” is
`5<((x)/(3))`

In the expression
`5<((x)/(3))` we are using the '<' (lessthan symbol) and '/' (division symbol)

'<' (lessthan symbol) and '/' (division symbol) are the two operations needed here to represent the given expression
