Let's denote the number as x. The quotient of the number and 4 is x/4. Five less than this quotient would be (x/4) - 5. The equation we have is (x/4) - 5 = 15. By solving this equation, we find that x = 80.
First write the equation for this which is (n / 4 ) - 5 = 15. The number is 80. 80 divided by 4 equals 20 and 20 minus 5 equals 15.
-5
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
The expression "the quotient of two and a number xxx" can be represented as 2 / xxx. Nine less than this quotient would be 2 / xxx - 9.
If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.
greater
-5
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
It is considered an inequality.

The expression "the quotient of two and a number xxx" can be represented as 2 / xxx. Nine less than this quotient would be 2 / xxx - 9.
It will be greater.
9
The quotient is less than the fraction.
Any number below 6 has a quotient less than 1.
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
