Which of the following best describes the English expression the quotient of four and the sum of a number and three? A. 4/x+3 B. x+3/4 C.4/x+3 D.x/4+3

Respuesta :

Quotient means division, which is obvious by all the division answers. 
It says "Quotient of 4 AND ..." which means that four will be on top and everything else will be on the bottom. 

So now you have:
[tex] \frac{4}{?} [/tex]
four over something unknown. 

Reading the rest of the question, "the sum of a number and three"
Sum means addition, again obvious by the answer choices. 
"a number" is an unknown, so we can set that to x
and this x is being added to by three, so therefore 
x+3 would be in your denominator. 

You final equation should look like this:;
[tex] \frac{4}{x+3} [/tex]
OR answer choice A
