Given the numerical equation:

x/2

Write in verbal form.

Verbal form: 

Half a number.

The quotient of a number and two.

Explanation:

Since we are given the variable x, this means that it can be any number, and x is divided by the number 2, as stated by the division sign “/”, therefore we can state the verbal form of the given numerical equation, as the quotient of a number and two, or half the number, since dividing a number by 2 is the same as taking its half value.
