Question

“3 less than the quotient of y and 4”

Answer 1

Answer:

Expression:

$\dfrac{y}{4}-3$

Value where y = 20

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a look at the sentence:

3 less than the quotient of y and 4

3 less indicates that you will subtract

   - 3

Quotient means the result of division.

$\dfrac{y}{4}$

So if we combine the two, it says 3 less than the quotient so we subtract 3 from the quotient:

$\dfrac{y}{4}-3$

So if y = 20, we just substitute the y with 20

$\dfrac{y}{4}-3$

$\dfrac{20}{4}-3$

$5-3=2$
