i think b

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

quotient means division Do you see a division in b?

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

no

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Don't look at the answers. Let's look at the question and translate it into a math expression.

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

k

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

i think a though

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Start with the red part. We use n for "a number". \(\sf \color{red}{The ~quotient ~of ~a ~number ~and ~4} ~is ~increased ~by ~5.\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A quotient is a division. A fraction also means a division.

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

k

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Just look at the expression in red.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\sf \color{red}{The ~quotient ~of ~a ~number ~and ~4} ~is ~increased ~by ~5.\) \(\color{red}{\dfrac{n}{4}}\) or \(\color{red}{n \div 4}\) I only did the part in red. Do you understand it?

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

ya

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

so c

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now we deal with the rest. Increased means something is added to it. Increased by 5 means add 5 to it. \(\sf \color{red}{The ~quotient ~of ~a ~number ~and ~4} \color{green}{~is ~increased ~by ~5.}\) \( \color{red}{\dfrac{n}{4}} \color{green}{+ 5}\) or \(\color{red}{n \div 4} \color{green}{+ 5}\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. C is the answer.

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

so c i think

OpenStudy (jojo12g):

thanx

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
