Emily is thinking of a number, which she calls n. She finds 1/4 of the number and then subtracts 3.

n/4 - 3 OR 1/4n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's assign a variable to Emily's number.  Let is be x.

Now all we have to do is go through the problem step by step.

"She finds 1/4 of the number..."

There are two ways you can do this.  You can either multiply n by 1/4 (1/4n), or you can divide by 4 (dividing by four is the same as finding 1/4 of a number).  For this example let's divide by four

n/4

"...and then subtracts 3."

All we have to do is subtract 3 from n/4

n/4 - 3

REMEMBER: like I said, there are two possible options.  You can either have n/4 or 1/4n. They mean the same thing

hello, sorry being so rude after all that fighting i found it kind of funny, so as me saying sorry here is an answer!

since the table showed her that   2km = 2000m.

to determine, how many km in 2000m, she would divide by 1000.

= 2000 / 1000 = 2 km.

similarly, for 8000m = 8000 / 1000 = 8 km

cheers to savings
