Answer 2

Answer:

seven-eighths of a number minus three

Step-by-step explanation:

the algebraic expression given to us is:

$\frac{7}{8} y-3$

we have seven-eighths multiplied by a number "y" (this can also be expressed as seven-eighths  of the number) and then, to that we substract 3 (minus three).

With this information we can conclude that the phrase that best describes this expression is:

seven-eighths of a number minus three
