We are asked to make an algebraic expression for the given verbal expression. The key phrase is the quotient of ... and .... This indicates that we should divide one term by another one. We can use a fraction notation to represent the division.
/
The two terms in our division are 22 and a numbera. Since 22 comes first in the verbal expression, it should be in the numerator.
22/numbera
When we say a number, this is indicating an arbitrary number or a variable. If we write this number as a, we can complete our expression.
the quotient of 22 & and a numbera [0.5em]
& 22/a
Note that this is only one of multiple ways to algebraically express the given verbal expression.
