Question

George is 3 years older than the quotient of Joseph's age and 2. Letj represent joseph's age. Write an expression in the box

that would show George's age

Answer 1

j/2+3

Explanation:

Joseph's age is unknown, so we will use j. It says the quotient of Joseph's age (j) and 2, so it would be j/2, or j divided by 2.

Then it says that George is 3 years older, so that would be addition.

Therefore, it would be:

x/2+3
