write the phrase an expression. the evaluate when y=20

3 less than the quotient of a number y and 4.

The required expression is .

The value of the expression when y=20 is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided phase.

3 less than the quotient of a number y and 4

The quotient of a number y and 4 can be written as:

Now 3 less than the quotient of a number y and 4  can be written as:

Hence, the required expression is .

Now evaluate when y=20.

Substitute y=20 in above expression.

Hence, the value of the expression when y=20 is 2.
