Question

Which expression matches the verbal description below?

Answer 1

Answer:

Quotient = division of one number by another

$\implies \textsf{quotient of 30 and 6} = \sf \dfrac{30}{6}$

$\implies \textsf{3 subtracted from } \sf \dfrac{30}{6}=\dfrac{30}{6}-3$

The quotient of 30 and 6 can also be written as the ratio 30 : 6

Therefore, the solution is (30:6) - 3

Answer 2
