Question

$\frac{2\mathrm{x}}{3}$ means

• A. $2$times $\mathrm{x}$
• B. $3$ times $\mathrm{x}$ divided by $2$
• C. $2$times $\mathrm{x}$ divided by $3$
• D. $2$times $\mathrm{x}$ multiplied by $3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$2$times $\mathrm{x}$ divided by $3$

Justification Of Answer:

Option (A) $2$times $\mathrm{x}$ $=2\times \mathrm{x}=2\mathrm{x}$

Option (B) $3$ times $\mathrm{x}$ $=3\times \mathrm{x}=3\mathrm{x}$

$3$ times $\mathrm{x}$ divided by $2$ $=3\mathrm{x}÷2=\frac{3\mathrm{x}}{2}$

Option (C) $2$times $\mathrm{x}$ $=2\times \mathrm{x}=2\mathrm{x}$

$2$times $\mathrm{x}$ divided by $3$ $=2\mathrm{x}÷3=\frac{2\mathrm{x}}{3}$

Option (D) $2$times $\mathrm{x}$ multiplied by $3$$=2\mathrm{x}\times 3=6\mathrm{x}$

Thus, based on the above explanation, it is evident that Option (C) is the correct answer
