Hello :)

Answer -

A. 8 divided by what number is equal to 8?

Step-by-step explanation -

Our task is to find which of these options best represents the equation
\sf{8/ y=8}.

The one that represents the given equation is the first one, which says: 8 divided by what number is equal to 8.

Let's take a look at the other choices to see if we can rule them out or not.

Option B. What number divided by 8 is equal to 8?

This one would be written as:
\sf{y/8=8}, which is not the case here.

Option C. The sum of 8 and what number is equal to 8?

This one would mean that we add 8 + y:
\sf{8+y=8}. Again, this is not the case.

Lastly, let's take a quick look at Option D.

The quotient of what number and 8 is equal to 8?

This one would be written as
\sf{y/ 8 =8}.
