1. write an algebraic expression for the word phrase ; the quotient of r and 12.
a. r .12
b. r*12
c. r - 12
d r + 12

r ÷ 12 or r/12

Given the word phrase: the quotient of r and 12.

An algebraic expression for it is

Notes:

The quotient is the ratio of two quantities to be divided or the number obtained by division. Synonyms for the quotient are proportion, ratio, or fractions.

An algebraic expression for the quotient of a and b is

The quotient, a dividend, and a divisor represent the fundamental components of a division equation.

Another example:

A car requires 10 liters of fuel to travel 60 km. Determine the quotient of the distance of the car with fuel (in km/L).

The quotient  (or ratio) is

Consider the same method as follows.

This means that the car can travel a distance of 6 km for every 1 L of fuel.

Kilometers per liter is a unit used to measure fuel economy and we see this as one example of the use of the quotient (or ratio).
