The quotient of 32 and four divided by the sum of one and three as an numerical expression

Answer 1

CAUTION ! CAUTION !

Mathematical expressions are much more exact than English. This expression can be:

A. ( The quotient of 32 and four ) divided by ( the sum of one and three )

(32/4) / (1 + 3)

OR

B. The quotient of 32 and ( four divided by ( the sum of one and three ) )

32 / ( 4/(1+3) )

For early math, you may assume that whole numbers are intended. This problem may be a good example of ambiguity.

Answer 2

Quotient of 32 and four is: (32÷4)

Sum of one and three is: 1+3

(32÷4)÷(1+3)
