Question

write an expression for the sequence of operations described below. a decreased by the quotient of c and b. do not simplify any part of the expression.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the quotient of c and b

The quotient of $c$ and $b$ is $\frac{c}{b}$.

Step2: Decrease a by the quotient

We subtract the quotient from $a$, so the expression is $a-\frac{c}{b}$.

Answer:

$a - \frac{c}{b}$
