the quotient of 45 and $r$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The algebraic expression is $\frac{\mathbf{45}}{\mathbf{r}}$.

Step 1. Algebraic Expression.

An algebraic expression is an expression that comprises sums and products of variables and numbers. For example, $2a$ and $\frac{1}{2}b$.

Step 2. Verbal expression for algebraic expression.

If verbal quotient of and divided by, then the operation in algebraic expression is division.

Step 3. Translate to an algebraic expression.

The word “quotient of” translates to operation division.

Hence, an algebraic expression from the given verbal expression will be “$\frac{45}{r}$”.

 

Therefore, the algebraic expression is “$\frac{45}{r}$”.
