Question

Jeffery read a book with one-fifth the pages of the book Toby read. Which variable expression represents the number of pages in the book Jeffery read?
A.15+t

B.t + 5

C.t5

D.5t

Answer 1

It would be T divided by 5. If Jeffery read a book essentially 1/5 of the size of Toby's book then T divided by 5 would have to be the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{t}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent number of pages read by Toby.

We have been given that Jeffery read a book with one-fifth the pages of the book Toby read. This means Jeffery reads 1/5 of 't' pages.

We can represent this information in an expression as:

$\frac{1}{5}t$

$\frac{t}{5}$

Therefore, the expression $\frac{t}{5}$ represents the number of pages in the book Jeffery read.
