Answer:

Yes, Alexa is correct.

Explanation:

Counting by 8 means adding 8 repeatedly. The first multiple of 8 is 8 (1 x 8), the second multiple is 16 (2 x 8), the third multiple is 24 (3 x 8), the fourth multiple is 32 (4 x 8), and the fifth multiple is 40 (5 x 8). So, by counting by 8 five times, Alexa can find the fifth multiple of 8 which is 40.
