$- 9.5$ $-9.5$

Explanation:

Let's break down the instructions given to you by the problem.

You know that you're looking for a number that is

... ten less than...

This means that you will get to the number by subtracting $10$ $10$ from something. That is what ten less than means.

So, you must subtract $10$ $10$ from

...the quotient of number $3$ $3$ and $6$ $6$ .

You can get the quotient of two numbers by dividing them. This means that in order to find the quotient of $3$ $3$ and $6$ $6$ , you must divide $3$ $3$ by $6$ $6$ .

$\frac{3}{6} \to$ $3/6 ->$ the quotient of $3$ $3$ and $6$ $6$

Put all this together to get

$\frac{3}{6} - 10$ $3/6 - 10$

Your number is equal to $10$ $10$ less than the quotient of $3$ $3$ and $6$ $6$ , which is equivalent to saying that you can get your number by subtracting $10$ $10$ from what you get by dividing $3$ $3$ and $6$ $6$ .

Since you know that

$3/6 = color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3)))/(2 * color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3)))) = 1/2 = 0.5$

you can say that your number will be

$0.5 - 10 = -9.5$
