How can you put this into an expresion?

Question

8 more than quotient of 12 and 6

Answer 1

If I have 3 pennies in my pocket and you have 6 "more than" I do, then you have 3 + 6 or 9.

If I have x nickels in my pocket and Larry has 10 more than I do, then an expression for the number of nickels Larry has is x + 10.

The quotient of two numbers implies division. The quotient of x and y is x/y. The quotient of 7 and 12 is 7/12.

So for this problem the quotient of 12 and 6 is 12/6.

8 more than that quotient is 12/6 + 8 .

Of course this evaluates to 2+8 = 10.

Another example.

An expression for 10 more than the quotient of x and 3 is: x/3 + 10.
