Answer: If each of the s swimmers on the relay team swam an equal number of the 8 laps in a race, the expression that shows how many laps each swimmer swam would be 8/s.

This expression shows that each swimmer swam 8 laps, divided by the total number of swimmers on the team, s.

So, if there are 's' swimmers on the relay team, each swimmer swam 8/s laps.
