O C. (30-3)-4
O D.30: (6-3)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Quotient = division of one number by another

[tex]\implies \textsf{quotient of 30 and 6} = \sf \dfrac{30}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \textsf{3 subtracted from } \sf \dfrac{30}{6}=\dfrac{30}{6}-3[/tex]

The quotient of 30 and 6 can also be written as the ratio 30 : 6

Therefore, the solution is (30:6) - 3

Let's see

Quotient means division

  • 30/6

Three subtracted means

  • 30/6-3

Convert to ratio

  • 30:6-3
