You want to define a variable and be able to manipulate that variable to whatever the question is asking you.

For Q1, let k be Kathryn's height in inches. Then k-2 would be two inches shorter than Kathryn's height.

Or for Q2, let x be the number. "Quotient" implies you are dividing, and the quotient of a number and 13 is assumed to be x/13.

Try the others the same way.
