Answer 1

The expression \(\frac{h}{30}\) can be interpreted in terms of phrases that describe the relationship between \(h\) and 30. Here are the phrases that can be accurately represented by this expression:

1. **the quotient of thirty and a number** - This is NOT accurate because the expression represents \(h \div 30\), not \(30 \div h\).
2. **the product of thirty and a number** - This is NOT accurate because the expression does not represent multiplication.
3. **thirty divided by a number** - This is NOT accurate as the expression represents \(h \div 30\), not \(30 \div h\).
4. **the quotient of a number and thirty** - This is accurate because it represents \(h \div 30\).
5. **a number divided by thirty** - This is accurate as it specifically states \(h \div 30\).
6. **the product of a number and thirty** - This is NOT accurate because the expression does not involve multiplication.

Thus, the phrases that apply are:

- **the quotient of a number and thirty**
- **a number divided by thirty**
