Answer:
The numerical expression is: [tex]\frac{36}{-4-8}[/tex]
Simplifying the expression gives = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
To write a numerical expression for the phase the quotient of 36 and the sum of -4 and -8 .
Solution:
The phrase the quotient of 36 and the sum of -4 and -8 can be written as a mathematical or a numerical expression as following :
By quotient, we mean the result of a division.
From the phrase we can figure out that the number 36 is divided by the sum of -4 and -8.
Thus, the expression would be :
⇒ [tex]\frac{36}{-4-8}[/tex] (Answer)
Simplifying the expression.
⇒ [tex]\frac{36}{-12}[/tex] [Two negatives add up to give a negative sum.]
⇒ [tex]-3[/tex] [The quotient of 36 and -12 =-3] (Answer)
