• Let b represent Billy’s height.
• Therefore, the quotient of billy’s height and 5
• $= \frac{b}{5}$
• Sarah is 2 inches taller than the quotient of billy’s height and 5.
• Therefore, an expression that represents Sarah’s height is
• $2 + \frac{b}{5}$

Answer:

$2 + \frac{b}{5}$

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Answer 2

So, this has many steps to it.

This part is to let us know what symbols we should use (VERY IMPORTANT)

1. Since you know that Sarah is two inches taller, we would use a + sigh in our expression

2.Then you look for the key word which is quotient and that means to divide

    All of our symbols are in now. Time for the next step

This part us know what we are dividing and adding.

Now 2+ b/5
