What operation does divided by represent?

Example Answer: 22s

Practice makes perfect
We are asked to make an algebraic expression for the given situation. The key phrase is ... 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.
