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

Respuesta :

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:

[tex]\frac{t}{5}[/tex]

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:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}t[/tex]

[tex]\frac{t}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression [tex]\frac{t}{5}[/tex] represents the number of pages in the book Jeffery read.
