8 less than the quotient of a number and 10

Answer 1

8 less than the quotient of a number and 10

Let's break down the language first.

"8 less than" means minus 8 and should be put at the end of your mathematical statement.

"the quotient" means division so we will be dividing "a number and ten"

I'm going to use the variable n for "a number"

n ÷ 10 - 8

or

n/10 - 8
