Answer 3

how you write 1/3 of T ?

Answer 4

If you want to know 1/3 of something, do you add, subtract, multiply, or divide?

Answer 5

I will put up my answer options.
A. W = 3T + 8
B. W = 3T – 8
C. W=1/3T+8
D. W= 1/3T -8

Answer 6

cool. so two of those of 3T and two have (1/3)T.
What do you multiply T by if you want to know 1/3 of T?

Answer 7

8?

Answer 8

multiplying by 8 gives you 8 times T.
Your problem says "a third of Tuesday’s temperature." Only 2 of your options have 1/3. So which can you eliminate?

Answer 9

Well it sounds like A and B are irrelevant, so it's got to be C or D I'm thinking C.

Answer 10

yes C

Answer 11
