write an expression for the quotient of the quantity 5 plus 4 and 9. do not solve.
answer
answer: 5 + 4 - 9

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the quantity to divide

The "quantity 5 plus 4" means we first calculate \(5 + 4\). So we have the numerator as \(5 + 4\).

Step2: Identify the divisor

The problem says "the quotient of... and 9", so 9 is the divisor (denominator).

Step3: Form the expression

To find the quotient, we divide the quantity \(5 + 4\) by 9. So the expression is \(\frac{5 + 4}{9}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{5 + 4}{9}\)
