    Question

    Write the following expressions in statements:
    x over 5

    1. x is divided by 5
    2. 5 is divided by x
    3. Either a or b
    4. Both a and b

    hintHint:

    The given equation is algebraic expression. It has two components, a variable and a constant. Variable is a quantity which doesn't have fixed value. It is generally represented by alphabets. A constant always have a fixed value. In this expression x is a variable and 5 is constant. We have to find the operation between the given variable and constant.

    The correct answer is: x is divided by 5

      The given expression is x over 5.
      The above expression shows division. When we see expression like this, it means we divide the numerator by the denominator. In the above equation the variable x is in the numerator and constant 5 is in the denominator. So, x is divided by the constant 5.
      Therefore, option (a) which is 'x is divided by 5' is the right option.
