Five times the quotient of y and 7

5 (y / 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the answer to a division problem. This tells us that y and 7 are being divided.

So far we have the number y/7 (We have seen no need to add the parenthesis yet because we still need to multiply our number by 5

Five times this quotient (y/7) can be represented by 5*, because the quotient of our division problem is being multiplied by 5.

This leads you to a correct answer of 5 (y/7)

5 (y / 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the answer to a division problem. This tells us that y and 7 are being divided.

We have (y / 7) so far.

Five times this quotient (y / 7) can be represented by 5*, as the quotient is being multiplied by 5.

The final expression can be shown as: 5 (y / 7).
