Question

What inequality represents the sentence, the sum of the quotient of a number and 3 and 6 is no more than-12?

Answer 1

We need to split the sentence.

First part, the sum of:

• quotiene of a number and 3

,

• and 6

The above could be writen as:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{n}{3}+6 \\ \text{Where n is some number.} \end{gathered}$

The sum above is no more than -12, so the sum is less than -12:

$\frac{n}{3}+6<-12$

The first option is the correct answer.
