Question

jean wrote two correct variable expressions to represent the phrase \the quotient of a number and 3.\ which variable expressions could jean have written? select each correct answer. $\frac{1}{3n}$ $ndiv3$ $\frac{n}{3}$ $3n$

Explanation:

Step1: Understand quotient meaning

The quotient of a number and 3 means dividing a number (represented by variable $n$) by 3.

Step2: Analyze each option

• $\frac{1}{3n}$ is 1 divided by the product of 3 and $n$, not the quotient of $n$ and 3.
• $n\div3$ represents $n$ divided by 3, which is correct.
• $\frac{n}{3}$ also represents $n$ divided by 3, which is correct.
• $3n$ is the product of 3 and $n$, not a quotient.

Answer:

B. $n\div3$
C. $\frac{n}{3}$
