question 2 of 15
which expression means \2 less than the quotient of a number and 4\?
a ( 4 x - 2 )
b ( \frac { x } { 4 } - 2 )
c ( \frac { x } { 2 } - 4 )
d ( \frac { x } { 4 } + 2 )

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze "the quotient of a number and 4"

Let the number be $x$. The quotient of $x$ and 4 is $\frac{x}{4}$.

Step2: Analyze "2 less than..."

"2 less than" means subtracting 2 from the previous result. So we get $\frac{x}{4}-2$.

Answer:

B. $\frac{x}{4}-2$
