Question

what is the verbal phrase for the following expression? 5n
a. five times a number \tc. a number plus five
b. five divided by a number \td. five minus a number

please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c

Explanation:

The expression \( 5n \) means 5 multiplied by a number \( n \). Option a "five times a number" correctly represents this multiplication. Option b would be \( \frac{5}{n} \), option c would be \( n + 5 \), and option d would be \( 5 - n \), so they don't match \( 5n \).

Answer:

A. five times a number
