The word "times" means multiplication.
OpenStudy (secret-ninja):
Well if Robby ate 8 chips, you have your number.
8
Then if Jimmy ate p TIMES it has to be multiplied by Robby's number.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Since you have 8 and p times 8, you need an expression that shows the multiplication of 8 and p.
OpenStudy (secret-ninja):
To multiply a number and a variable, you put them next to each other. So it is 8x.

In this case, you have the x for muliplication, its not 8p, but 8 x p
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Here the number is 8 and the variable you multiply by is p.
The answer is \(8 \times p\) because that is the correct choice.
8p is also correct.

Post them seperately. :)
