8. Write the following phrase using symbols.
The quotient of p minus q, divided by 5
A) p-q /5
B) p/q-5
C) p/5-q
D) p- q/5
I think its A, but A and D look exactly alike except you put a space in D
This is phrased wierdly because quotient and divided by means the same thing, so it is redundant to say, "the quotient of", "divided by". Are you sure you typed your question in properly?
%28p-q%29%2F5 is what you're looking for if I understand you correctly.
