Question: Post Test: Expressions Which expression means "2 more than the quotient of a number and 3"? 3x + 2 x/2 + 3 x/3 + 2 x/3 - 2
1. The problem asks for the expression that means "2 more than the quotient of a number and 3". 2. "Quotient of a number and 3" means dividing the number by 3, which is written as $\frac{x}{3}$. 3. "2 more than" means adding 2 to that quotient, so the expression is $\frac{x}{3} + 2$. 4. Let's check the options: - $3x + 2$ means 3 times the number plus 2, not the quotient. - $\frac{x}{2} + 3$ means quotient of the number and 2 plus 3, not 3. - $\frac{x}{3} + 2$ matches our expression. - $\frac{x}{3} - 2$ means 2 less than the quotient, not 2 more. 5. Therefore, the correct expression is $\frac{x}{3} + 2$. **Final answer:** $\frac{x}{3} + 2$
