help asap Robby ate 8 potato chips. Jimmy ate p times as many potato chips as Robby. Which expression shows how many potato chips Jimmy ate? 8 - p 8 + p 8 × p 8 ÷ p

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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.

thanks can i ask more??? i have 9 more

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

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.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Post them seperately. :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
