Question

Which algebraic expression represents “the candles were divided equally into eight baskets”?
8 + c
8c
StartFraction 8 Over c EndFraction
StartFraction c Over 8 EndFraction

Answer 1

The expression that represents “the candles were divided equally into eight baskets” can be expressed as \( \frac{c}{8} \).

Here, \( c \) represents the total number of candles, and dividing \( c \) by \( 8 \) gives the number of candles in each basket after they’ve been divided equally.

So the correct option is:

**StartFraction c Over 8 EndFraction**.
