To find the algebraic expressions for the given word phrases, we need to understand the mathematical operations involved in the phrases.
1. The word phrase "the quotient of 6 and the sum of 5 and y" can be written as 6 / (5 + y). This means taking 6 and dividing it by the sum of 5 and y. So, the correct answer is:
a. 6 / (5 - y)
2. The word phrase "the quotient of j and 8" can be written as j / 8. This means taking j and dividing it by 8. So, the correct answer is:
c. j / 8
Moving on to the next question,
3. To find the difference between 9/5 and 1/6, we need to subtract the second fraction from the first fraction. So, the correct answer is:
c. 59/30
Lastly,
4. To simplify the expression √(1/169), we take the square root of the fraction. The square root of 1 is 1, and the square root of 169 is 13. So, the correct answer is:
b. 1/13
By following the explanations provided, you can now determine the correct answer for each question.
