1. The problem asks to translate the statement "The quotient from dividing n by four is eight" into an equation. 2. The word "quotient" means the result of division. 3. Dividing $n$ by 4 can be written as $\frac{n}{4}$. 4. The statement says this quotient equals 8, so the equation is: $$\frac{n}{4} = 8$$ 5. This is the equation that represents the given statement.
