Do you know what a quotient is? @jonjon46931

Answer 3

I see that you are offline so I will just post the information here so when you come back online you will know how to solve this

Answer 4

A quotient is the result of division

For Example:

\[8 \div 4 = 2 \]

2 is the quotient

Answer 5

So they are basically asking for the result of a division problem of r and 12

Answer 6

Note that they did not say equation, they said expression. So this problem does not have an equals sign.

The answer you get should be

\[r \div 12 \]
