Answer 1

Answer: b. 51 - 3

Explanation:

Given, Easha has 3 less than 5 times the number of quarters (I) that Isabelle has.

Here I is the number of quarters that Isabelle has.

Then, as per given,

Number of quarters Easha has = 5 ( number of quarters that Isabelle has) -3

= 5I-3

Hence, the expression shows the number of quarters Easha has is "5I-3"

So the correct option is b.
