Question

Which expression represents the following statement? The quotient of 16 and 4 times 7 less than 11.

A 16 x (4 ÷ 11) + 7
B 16 ÷ 4 x (11 − 7)
C 11 ÷ 16 − (4 + 7)
D 16 x (11 + 4) + 7

Answer 1

The answer should be B .

Answer 2

b) 16 ÷ 4 × (11 - 7)

Explanation:

Given statement,

→ quotient of 16 & 4 times 7 less than 11.

Forming the expression,

→ 16/(4(11 - 7))

→ 16 ÷ 4 × (11 - 7)

Evaluating the following,

→ 16 ÷ 4 × (11 - 7)

→ 16 ÷ (4 × 4)

→ 16 ÷ 16 = 1

Hence, option (b) is correct.
