Translate English words into math expressions in the correct order. $\frac{x}{y}$ $x/y$ $-$ $-$ 4.

Explanation:

When you read the problem, it is asking for an equation that means "4 less than the quotient of $x$ $x$ and $y$ $y$ ".

Let's start at the end. What does the word "quotient" mean? It means that you are going to divide one by the other. The quotient of $x$ $x$ and $y$ $y$ is $\frac{x}{y}$ $x/y$ .

The first part asks for "four less than" $\frac{x}{y}$ $x/y$ . Four less than suggests subtraction. We want four less than the expression $\frac{x}{y}$ $x/y$ . We need to subtract 4 from $\frac{x}{y}$ $x/y$ .

So our final solution would be:

$\frac{x}{y}$ $x/y$ $-$ $-$ 4.
