Question

Which phrase represents the algebraic expression three plus x over five ?

five divided by a number, increased by three

five greater than a number divided into three

the sum of three and a number divided by five

five more than the quotient of a number and three

Answer 1

three plus x => sum of three and a number
over five => divided by five

So which do you think it is?

Answer 2

The third one.

Answer 3

You win :)

Answer 4

The equation is \(3 + \frac{ x }{ 5 } or \frac{ 3 + x }{ 5 }\). I dislike this kind of question because it doesn't explain whether it's the first expression or it's the latter expression.

Answer 5

Yea, I guess it is a bit ambiguous but I took it as the latter of your equations
