Which answer choice correctly represents an algebraic expression for the quotient of a number and 9? A. 9j
B. j ÷ 9
C. j – 9
D. 9 + j

Explanation:

The quotient is the result after a division problem.

As another example, we would say that 9 is the quotient of 27 and 3 because 27 ÷ 3 = 9

We can use the slash symbol / to mean division. So we could say 27/3 = 9

Going back to the answer, we could rewrite j ÷ 9 as j/9

The order is important. This means j ÷ 9 is different from 9 ÷ j which represents "the quotient of 9 and j".
