11/26 chance that the student plays both instruments.
First, add the amount of students that just play flute or piano:
3 + 5 = 8
Then add 8 to the amount that does not play either instrument:
8 + 7 = 15
Then do:
26 - 15 = 11
Then place 11 over the amount of people:
11/26

Answer: B.
First, we have to have a question for this problem to create a solution. So, the example sentence is how many granola bars does each student get.
Second, an algebraic expression has a variable in it. So since we are trying to find the number of students, the variable is s.
From looking at C and D, we can already eliminate them. This question has mostly multiplication and division words in it, so it can't be addition and multiplication.
Now, we only have A and B left. A tip on how to figure this out is reading the word problem out thoroughly. I will use B as an example. 5 boxes of granola bars were multiplied by the number of granola bars each student got. From reading this, it makes more sense. But it does change the example sentence, though.
I hope this helped and this is the right answer!
I really wished I knew but I haven’t learned that yet:(
There are three terms in this expression.
Top 2nd one isn’t a function
