Question

Using n for the variable, write an algebraic expression that represents a number that is divisible by the given number. (Hint: A number that is divisible by 2 could be written as 2n, where n is any integer.) divisible by 5

Answer 1

Answer:

'5n' is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'n' be any integer i.e. a number from the set {....., -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, ..... }

so 'n' can be termed as the variable here because its value can change and can be any value from the above set.

A number 'q' that can be divided by a a given number 'p' can be written as:

$n \times p$

When divided by 'p' :

$\dfrac{q}p = \dfrac{n \times p}{p}\\\dfrac{q}p = n$

So, The number 'q' is completely divisible by 'p' leaving 'n' as the quotient.

Using this concept, let us solve the questions:

a) Using 'n' as the variable, a number that is divisible by 5 can be written as:

$5n$
