Which of the following is not a translation of the algebraic expression 12.4 – 3b into words?

In 12.4 − 3b, the term 3b means 3 times a number, and that product is subtracted from 12.4. Choices A, B, and D all describe that operation. Choice C instead uses a quotient of 3 and a number, which means division, so it is not a translation of the expression.
