What operation does divided by
represent?
Example Answer: 22s
... divided by ...This tells us that we should divide two things. .../...
The two terms that we are dividing are 22
and a number s.
Since 22
comes first in the statement, it should be in the numerator side of the fraction.
22/...
When we say a number s,
this is telling us that an arbitrary number will be denoted by s. So, by placing s in the denominator, we can complete our expression.
22/s
Note that this is only one of multiple ways to algebraically express the given statement.
