Answer 1

45 ÷ 9, 7.6s

Explanation:

9) A quotient is a result of dividing a quantity by another quantity. We see that 45 ÷ 9 is a form of division. We could say that 45 is divided into 9 parts. 45 ÷ 9 can also be written in fractional form:
`(45)/(9)`. Lastly, we see that the quotient would be 5.

10) A product is a result of multiplying a quantity by another quantity. We see that 7.6s is a simplified form of multiplication that actually represents 7.6 × s.

7.6 is a known numerical value. It is the coefficient of the variable x, which we do not know the value for.
