the quotient of 8 and twice a number z ((translate the verbal phrase into an expression))

OpenStudy (ahsome):

\(Quotient\): Divide one number by another First, here is what the begining step: \[8/2*z\] Simplify the \(z\) \[8/2z\] Rewrite the equation as a fraction. \[\frac{8}{2z}\] Done. Hope you understood, @firelordjohana. Just say if you didn't :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The quotient is the answer from division and twice a number z is 2z. You don't say which is the dividend and which is the divisor, so the answer is either 8/2z or 2z

OpenStudy (ahsome):

@aryandecoolest We can assume that the number 8 is first, unless explicitly stated
