Fred is 5 inches shorter than the quotient of Rick’s height and 4. let r represent Rick’s height. Write an expression that represents Fred’s height

Respuesta :

  • Let r represent Rick’s height.
  • Therefore, the quotient of Rick’s height and 4
  • [tex] = \frac{r}{4} [/tex]
  • Fred is 5 inches shorter than the quotient of Rick’s height and 4.
  • Therefore, an expression that represents Fred’s height is
  • [tex] \frac{r}{4} - 5 [/tex]

Answer:

[tex] \frac{r}{4} - 5[/tex]

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Doubt clarification - use comment section.

  • r represents height of Rick
  • Quotient of r and 4 means r is divided by 4

The expression till now

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\Rrightarrow \dfrac{r}{4}[/tex]

But we need the expression for five less than the quotient

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\Rrightarrow \dfrac{r}{4}-5[/tex]
