  1. quotient is division, so,

    c = 45 + 120/v

    that's it! ;)


  2. Cathy has traveled 45 miles more than the quotient of 120 and the number of miles Valery has traveled. "More" indicated addition, so set that aside for now. The quotient of 120 and the number of miles Valery has traveled, which is v, means division, so it is 120/v. And then you have the 45 miles more, to which you add on. Therefore, you get:

    c = 120/v + 45

  3. 45c over 120v
