Question

One less than the quotient of four and a number xxx.

Answer 1

The equation to the given expression:

" One less than the quotient of four and a number 'x'".

The quotient of four and 'x' represents the quotient obtained on dividing four by the number 'x'.

So, the expression to the statement "The quotient of four and x " is $\frac{4}{x}$.

Now, one less than the quotient of four and a number 'x' is $\frac{4}{x} -1$.

So, $\frac{4}{x} -1$ is the required equation.

Answer 2
