Q. Write an expression to represent:

4

less than the quotient of

x

and

5

.

Question Prompt: The question prompt is asking for an expression that represents a certain mathematical relationship. Specifically, it wants an expression for ＂ $4$ less than the quotient of $x$ and $5$ .＂
Representing the Quotient: To represent the quotient of $x$ and $5$ , we use the division operation. The quotient of $x$ and $5$ is written as $\frac{x}{5}$ .
Subtracting $4$ : To represent ＂ $4$ less than＂ the quotient of $x$ and $5$ , we subtract $4$ from the quotient. Therefore, the expression is $\frac{x}{5} - 4$ .
Checking the Expression: We check the expression to ensure it correctly represents the relationship described in the problem. The quotient of $x$ and $5$ is $\frac{x}{5}$ , and ＂ $4$ less than＂ this quotient is indeed $\frac{x}{5} - 4$ .
