Translate the word phrase into a math expression. nine more than the quotient of a number and five

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, but it seems that doesn´t make sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9+x/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So \[\frac{ n }{ 5 } + 9\] is it?

OpenStudy (31356):

I know how to solve this, however I seem to forget it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For me the statement is incomplete.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"nine more than the quotient of a number and five" is just an expression, not an equation. I'd write an expression for "the quotient of a number and five" and then add 9 to the result.

OpenStudy (31356):

Yes!

OpenStudy (mathmale):

thus, \[\frac{ n }{ 5 } + 9\] looks fine to me.

OpenStudy (31356):

Yes!
