Question

If n represents a number then write an expression for two less than one fourth of n

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(4)n-2`

This is the same as
`(n)/(4) - 2` and it is also equivalent to
`0.25n-2`

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

n is some placeholder for a number

one fourth of that number is
`(1)/(4)n` which is the same as
`(n)/(4)` or
`0.25n` since 1/4 = 0.25

From here, we subtract off 2 to get
`(1)/(4)n-2` as one possible final answer.
