Question

Which phrase could be represented by this expression?

k/5+ 8

A.eight more than five times a number
B.eight more than a fifth of a number
C.five times a number plus eight
D.one-fifth of the sum of a number and eight

Answer 1

Order of operations works well here for your expression \[\frac{ k }{ 5 } + 8\]
k = some number

Answer 2

Further more we see that the 5 is in the denominator of that number so we can say it is not the full number but a fifth of the number and since it does not number the number K the independent variable 8 will always be added to that number so using that reasoning you should now be able to find the correct phrase

Answer 3

c..thank you

Answer 4

Not C

Answer 5

no d my bad

Answer 6

C is saying \[5 \times k + 8\]

Answer 7

Incorrect, D is saying
\[\frac{ k }{ 5 } = k +8\]

Answer 8

really it kind fit what you said

Answer 9

Your equation is really \[K \times \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } + 8\]

Answer 10

Sum implies the addition and actually the equals sign as well

Answer 11

the only thing i could it is B

Answer 12

i could think it is B

Answer 13

Correct, because if you have one-fifth of a number then you have it over 5. So for example if i had one-half of a number it would be over 2. Since the 8 is going to be added onto whatever that result is it will be 8 more than that one-fifth
