Lots of practice is one answer. When Pascal was asked 'how to become an expert mathematician', his answer was 'find an insoluble problem and attempt a solution.' Another solution would be to attempt to answer for yourself, some of the math questions in wikianswers.
Math is best learned through practice and application of mathematical processes or formulas to real-world problems. It is one thing to memorize a math problem with a known solution, but another thing to have to figure out a solution to a unique and original problem. Students will best gain an understanding for math through the latter, and will better retain this knowledge by practicing its application rather than by being asked to memorize problems.
You do it wrong. With out order of operations, the same math problem could have several different answers. In math, there is only one answer.
an equation
In mathematics, the quotient refers to the result of dividing one number by another. It is the answer or solution obtained when one number is divided by another. For example, in the division problem 10 ÷ 2 = 5, the quotient is 5.
