Question

Jeffery read a book with one-fifth the pages of the book Toby read. Which variable expression represents the number of pages in the book Jeffery read?

A.15+t

B.t + 5

C.t5

D.5t

Answer 1

It would be T divided by 5. If Jeffery read a book essentially 1/5 of the size of Toby's book then T divided by 5 would have to be the answer.

Answer 2

`(t)/(5)`

Explanation:

Let t represent number of pages read by Toby.

We have been given that Jeffery read a book with one-fifth the pages of the book Toby read. This means Jeffery reads 1/5 of 't' pages.

We can represent this information in an expression as:

`(1)/(5)t`

`(t)/(5)`

Therefore, the expression
`(t)/(5)` represents the number of pages in the book Jeffery read.
