Question

Which equation represents this number sentence? Two more than one-third of a number is 8

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $2+\frac{1}{3}n=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number.

We are asked to write an mathematical expression for the given word phrase.

One third of a number, n, would be $\frac{1}{3}n$.

Two more than one third of a number, n, would be $2+\frac{1}{3}n$.

We are told that Two more than one-third of a number is 8. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$2+\frac{1}{3}n=8$

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Answer 2

Two more means something + 2
One third = 1/3
Of a number is some undefined number i.e. a variable
is 8 just means mean = 8

Can you figure this out?
