Problema Solution

The quotient of a number and 3 is 12

Answer provided by our tutors

A "quotient" is the answer to a division problem. And a fraction bar is really a division bar. "And" translates into +, and "is" translates into =. So you would set up your equation like this:

x/3 = 12

To solve it you would mulitply both sides by 3. So x = 36.
