Question

7 less than the quotient of a number 5 and w in a algebraic expression.

Answer 1

5/w-7

Explanation:

First, let's write out "the quotient of a number 5 and w"

The quotient is the result from dividing two numbers. Therefore, we must divide 5 and w.

5/w

Now, let's add on "7 less than". Since it is "less than" it will come after the division. "Less" means subtract. So, subtract 7 from 5/w.

5/w-7

7 less than the quotient of a number 5 and w as an expression is: 5/w-7

Answer 2

5/w -7

Explanation:

quotient means division

5/w

less than means it comes after

5/w -7
