• A. 2 less than the quotient of 21 and 7.
• B. 21 divided by sum of 7 and 2.
• C. Subtract 7 from 21 then divide whole by 2.
• D. 21 minus 7 whole divided by 2.

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2 less than the quotient of 21 and 7.

2 less than the quotient of 21 and 7 = ( 21 ÷ 7 ) - 2 (True)

21 divided by sum of 7 and 2 = 21 ÷ (7 + 2) ≠ ( 21 ÷ 7 ) - 2 (False)

Subtract 7 from 21 then divide whole by 2 = ( 21 - 7 ) ÷ 2 ≠ ( 21 ÷ 7 ) - 2 (False)

21 minus 7 whole divided by 2 = ( 21 - 7 ) ÷ 2 (False)
