Let's see

Quotient means division

  • 30/6

Three subtracted means

  • 30/6-3

Convert to ratio

  • 30:6-3

Option B

Answer:

Quotient = division of one number by another


\implies \textsf{quotient of 30 and 6} = \sf (30)/(6)


\implies \textsf{3 subtracted from } \sf (30)/(6)=(30)/(6)-3

The quotient of 30 and 6 can also be written as the ratio 30 : 6

Therefore, the solution is (30:6) - 3
