Question

Which equation represents this sentence?

One-half the sum of a number and four is three less than the quotient of five and the number.

A. 1/2n+4=3−5/n

B. 1/2(n+4)=5/n−3

C. 1/2(n+4)=3−5/n

D. 1/2n+4=5/n−3

Answer 1

so you know 1/2 would come first in the sentence. than sum means adding.
I explained this weird but if you were to multiply 1/2 and n+4 you you put them next to each other like in D and A. so those are not your answers. it would either be B or C. it says "three less than the quotient of five and the number."

I hope this helped in some way.
