Sagot :
For the given problem:
Let the number = x
Two less than the quotient of a number and 8 is 1/4
so, we can write the following expression:
[tex]\frac{x}{8}-2=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]Now, solve the equation to find (x)
Multiplying by (8) to eliminate the denominators:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8\cdot(\frac{x}{8}-2)=8\cdot\frac{1}{4} \\ \\ 8\cdot\frac{x}{8}-8\cdot2=\frac{8}{4} \\ x-16=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Add (6) to both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-16+16=2+16 \\ x=18 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the answer will be the number is 18
