Question

HELPP. Write the following as an algebraic expression. The sum of a and a quarter of b.

Answer 1

Answer:
`a + (1)/(4)b`

This is the same as
`a + (b)/(4)`

All we're doing is adding 'a' and
`(1)/(4)b` since the term "sum" is the result of adding two or more numbers.

One quarter of a number is the same as dividing by 4.

Example: one quarter of 28 =
`(1)/(4)*28 = (28)/(4) = 7`
