Step 1: Subtract the number from four.
Difference of four and a number = 4 - x
Step 2: Divide five by the difference obtained in step 1.
Quotient of five and the difference = 5 / (4 - x)
Therefore, the quotient of five and the difference of four and a number is 5 / (4 - x).
1. Assign a variable to represent the unknown number. Let's use 'x' for this example.
2. Write down the given expression, which is "the difference of four and a number."
This can be written as (4 - x).
3. Write down the new expression, which is "the quotient of five and the difference of four and a number."
This can be written as 5 / (4 - x).
So, the quotient of five and the difference of four and a number is (5 / (4 - x)).
