A product is the result of multiplication.
A quotient is the result of division.
So you're trying to find the quotient of a number (x) and 5 that equals 8.
Try plugging in the answers.
x/5=8
A. x=4
4/5=8 (Incorrect, 4 divided by 5 is 0.8)
B. x=8
8/5=8 (Incorrect, 8 divided by 5 is 1.6)
C. x=40
40/5=8 (Correct, 40 divided by 5 is 8)
D. x=80
80/5=8 (Incorrect, 80 divided by 5 is 16)
So your answer is C. 40
The quotient of 40 and 5 is 8.
Answer:
It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.
Step-by-step explanation:
- One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
- Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
- Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
- If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
- They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
- This is 1 minute 12 seconds

Hope this helps!
This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4
To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.
I'll use 12
The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12
10/12-3/12 = 7/12
So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.
Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda
