quotient is the result of a division problem....
so this means that 42 divided by something is 6.
That would make the answer 7.
Hope this helps!

Quotient Of 42 And 2

A quotient is the answer you get when you DIVIDE numbers.
When the question says "the quotient of forty-two and a number is six," it means that 42 divided by some number gives you 6. I will use the letter 'n' to represent any number:
42 / n = 6
The thing above means that 42 divided some number (n) equals 6. Now, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 'n.'
42 = 6 * n
Now, to get 'n' alone, we divide both sides of the equation by 6.
n = 7
The answer to the question is 7. The quotient of 42 and 7 is 6.

42 = 6 * x
x = 42/6
I think you can solve it yourself from here on ;)
