Question

Which equation represents the word sentence?

The quotient of a number $\mathrm{b}$ and $0.3$ equals negative $10$

• A. $0.3\mathrm{b}=10$
• B. $\frac{\mathrm{b}}{0.3}=-10$
• C. $\frac{0.3}{\mathrm{b}}=-10$
• D. $\frac{\mathrm{b}}{0.3}=10$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{\mathrm{b}}{0.3}=-10$

Given statement : The quotient of a number $\mathrm{b}$ and $0.3$ equals negative $10$

Now, the quotient of$\mathrm{b}$and $0.3$ means $\frac{\mathrm{b}}{0.3}$
So, the required equation is
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{b}}{0.3}=-10$

Hence, the correct answer is option (B) .
