Question

How do you translate "the quotient of a number N and 4" into an algebraic expression?

Answer 1

This can be written as an algebraic expression as `N/4` or as `N-:4`

Either is acceptable.

Explanation:

The word "quotient" comes from the Latin "quotiens" meaning "how many times?", as in "How many times does `4` go into `N`?"

So it is talking about division of one number by another.
