the quotient of 8 and the sum of 3 and m,
is it
8/3+m?
It would be clearer --
8/(3 + m)
mr wallace stop talking, you're annoying
mr wallace
nobody asked you
This is what it's for
No, but that's a good attempt! The correct expression is 8 / (3 + m). It's all about the order of operations. Think of it as first adding 3 and m together, and then dividing 8 by the sum. Keep up the math humor!
No, the correct quotient of 8 and the sum of 3 and m is (8)/(3+m).
To understand why, let's break it down step by step.
When we say "the quotient of 8 and the sum of 3 and m," we mean dividing 8 by the sum of 3 and m.
To divide two numbers, we usually use the division sign (÷) or a fraction bar (/). In this case, we'll use the fraction bar (/) notation.
The "sum of 3 and m" indicates that we need to add 3 and m together. So, the sum of 3 and m is 3 + m.
Therefore, the quotient of 8 and the sum of 3 and m can be represented as:
8 / (3 + m)
Make sure to include parentheses to indicate that the sum of 3 and m should be evaluated first before dividing 8 by it.
So the correct expression is (8)/(3+m).
