Answer:
n/3 - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
"quotient of a number and 3" is n/3, and so
"18 less than the quotient of a number and 3" as an expression is:
n/3 - 18
Let's represent the numbers by : x, x+1, x+2, x+3
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=40 The third number in the sequence is x+2
4x+6=40 8.5+2=10.5
4x+6-6=40-6 Therefore the third number in the sequence is
4x=34 10.5
4x/4=34/4
x=8.5
Answer: 5/10
Explanation: Compare the denominators. Since 2 ⋅ 5 = 10, multiply the numerator 1 by 5 to get 5.
