Answer 1

SOLUTION

TO DETERMINE

Write the phrase as an expression.

The quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16.

Then evaluate when y=20.

EVALUATION

Here the given phrase is the quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16.

So the given number = y

The difference of the number y and 16

= y - 16

Now the quotient of 40 and y - 16

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{40}{y - 16} }$

Now the value of the expression when y = 20 is

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{40}{20 - 16} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{40}{4} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ =10 }$
