To translate the sentence "Five less than the product of a number and eight is no more than 13" into an inequality, let's break it down:
- "the product of a number and eight" can be represented as \(8x\), where \(x\) is the number.
- "Five less than" means we subtract 5 from this product, giving us \(8x - 5\).
- "is no more than 13" translates to the inequality \(\leq 13\).
Putting it all together, we get:
\[
8x - 5 \leq 13
\]
Therefore, the correct inequality is:
**8x - 5 ≤ 13**.
