The cost to rent for one day is the product of $10 and 3. B. The cost to rent for one day is the sum of $10 and 3. C. The cost to rent for one day is the quotient of $10 and 3. D. The cost to rent for one day is the difference of $10 and 3.

well if it costs 10 dollars for 3 days, and the rent cost is equal for each day, we want to split 10 dollars into 3 equal pieces. Which operation is the best for doing this? @jason73125

no, remember that difference signifies subtraction...what we're looking for here is division

yes :)

does that make sense to you? remember, 10 dollars is the cost for 3 days, so dividing by 3 can help you find how much you pay each day since it evenly splits 10 dollars into 3 equal amounts
