To convert 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:
1. Let the unknown number be \( x \).
2. The product of the number and eight is \( 8x \).
3. "Five less than the product of a number and eight" translates to \( 8x - 5 \).
4. "is no more than 13" indicates that this expression is less than or equal to 13.
Putting it all together, we get the inequality:
\[ 8x - 5 \leq 13 \]
Therefore, the correct response is **8x−5≤13**.
