A.S/5; when S=20, the number of socks in each group is 4.
B. S/5; when S=20, the number of socks in each group is 15.
C. s-5 ; when S=20, the number of socks in each group is 4.
D. s-5; when S=20, the number of socks in each group is 15.

Answer 1

The answer is to the question is A.)

Answer 2

Answer: A.
`(S)/(5)`, the number of socks in each group is 4

Explanation:

Given: Henry divided his socks into five equal groups.

Let s represent the total number of socks.

If the total number of socks = 20

Then two find the number of socks in each group , we divide the total number of socks by 5 , we get

The number of socks in each group =
`(S)/(5)=(20)/(5)=4`

Hence, expression and solution represent the number of socks in each group if S=20 is given by :-

`(S)/(5)`, the number of socks in each group is 4
