What is the quotient dividing 56r-12/4t

1 answer

To divide the expression \( 56r - 12 \) by \( 4t \), you can separate each term in the numerator:

\[ \frac{56r - 12}{4t} = \frac{56r}{4t} - \frac{12}{4t} \]

Now, simplify each part:

  1. Simplifying \( \frac{56r}{4t} \): \[ \frac{56r}{4t} = \frac{56}{4} \cdot \frac{r}{t} = 14 \cdot \frac{r}{t} = \frac{14r}{t} \]

  2. Simplifying \( \frac{12}{4t} \): \[ \frac{12}{4t} = \frac{12}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{t} = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{t} = \frac{3}{t} \]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ \frac{56r - 12}{4t} = \frac{14r}{t} - \frac{3}{t} \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \frac{14r - 3}{t} \]
