Question

Which numerical expression represents, two fifths of the product of five eighths and sixteen? please help

​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

`(2)/(5)*\left((5)/(8)* 16\right)`

Explanation:

In this context, "of" means "times". A product of two numbers is computed by taking one "times" the other. In short, the operations being described by the words are two uses of "times". That shows up in only one answer choice.
