1. write an algebraic expression for the word phrase: the quotient of r and 12.
A.r*12
B.r/12
C.r-12
D.r+12
qoutient means to divide, meaning you would devide 12 and r resultingin 12/r
What does the word "quotient" mean? I can't help you until I know if you understand that word.
The correct algebraic expression for the word phrase "the quotient of r and 12" is B. r/12.
The word phrase "the quotient of r and 12" can be translated into an algebraic expression by recognizing that the word "quotient" means division, and "r and 12" indicates dividing r by 12.
So, the correct algebraic expression is B. r/12.
