Question 724083: One fourth of m subtracted from 15

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One fourth of m is %281%2F4%29m or m%2F4 .
One fourth of m subtracted from 15 is 15-m%2F4 .
I can write that as 15-m/4, or 15-m÷4,
because the rules for order of operation say that you must interpret that as divide m by 4 first, and then subtract the result from 15.
