If the question was "The quotient of a number and four", the answer would be n/4. But the question says "four minus eight", so the answer is [tex]\frac{n}{4 - 8}[/tex].

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with small steps

  • the quotient of a number and 4.
  • A number is mentioned first. It's the numerator n. Four is the denominator n/4
  • The next part is ambiguous. Is 8 part of the denominator. The grammar says it would be, but I'm pretty certain that is not what is meant.  What is meant is that 8 is added to the fraction
  • n/4 - 8
