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

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.

\(\sf \color{red}{The ~quotient ~of ~a ~number ~and ~4} ~is ~increased ~by ~5.\)
\(\color{red}{\dfrac{n}{4}}\) 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.
