$(2t)/12$ , Which simplifies to $t/6$

We write a quotient as $a/b$

So, we write the expression

"the quotient of twice a number t and 12"

as:

$"twice a number t" / 12$

And we write the expression:

"twice a number t"

as

$2t$

Thus the complete mathematical expression is:

$(2t)/12$

Which simplifies to:

$t/6$
