translate to an algebraic expression. 3 divided by y. the translation is =3/x=1 & y=3 is this correct? thanks
Isn't it just 3/y?

To translate "3 divided by y" into an algebraic expression, we can use the division symbol (÷) or a fraction.
Option 1: Using the division symbol
The algebraic expression for "3 divided by y" is 3/y.
Option 2: Using a fraction
The algebraic expression for "3 divided by y" is 3 ÷ y = 3/y.
Now, let's address your proposed translation, which is: 3/x = 1 and y = 3.
First, "3 divided by y" is represented by 3/y, not 3/x. So, the expression 3/x is not the correct translation for "3 divided by y."
However, if you say y = 3, it means that y is equal to 3. So, in the algebraic expression 3/y, if we substitute y with 3, we get 3/3, which simplifies to 1.
Hence, the correct translation of "3 divided by y" is 3/y, and when y = 3, the expression evaluates to 1.
To summarize:
1. The correct algebraic expression for "3 divided by y" is 3/y.
2. When y = 3, the expression 3/y evaluates to 1.
