Chapter 1, Problem 14SGR

To determine

Towrite: The given statement as algebraic expression

Answer to Problem 14SGR

  $\frac{p}{3}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Statement: “The quotient of the number of points and three”

Concept Used:

We know that quotient is produces when division between two numbers.

For example: Quotient of 25 and 5 will be represented as $\frac{25}{5}$

Calculation:

Let the number of points be $p$

Now, basis the definition, quotient of $p$ and 3 will be given by- $\frac{p}{3}$

Therefore, algebraic expression for number of points and three is $\frac{p}{3}$
