Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression.

Phrase: Eight less than the quotient of five and a number w.

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 + [tex]\frac{5}{w}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the phrase, the answer is smaller(less) by 8  when compared(equal (=)) to quotient of 5 and w ...

So:

Answer - 8 = quotient of 5 and w

Here, quotient is the whole number from a division. The division here is [tex]\frac{5}{w}[/tex]

Therefore,

Answer - 8 = [tex]\frac{5}{w}[/tex]

Answer = 8 + [tex]\frac{5}{w}[/tex]

Hence the phrase into algebraic expression is 8 + [tex]\frac{5}{w}[/tex]
