Question

each of the 5 swimmers on the relay team swam an equal number of the 8 laps in a race. write an expression that shows how many laps each swimmer swam.

Explanation:

Step1: Define Variables

Let \( s \) be the number of swimmers, and total laps are 8. We need to find laps per swimmer.

Step2: Formulate Expression

To find the number of laps each swimmer swam, we divide the total number of laps (8) by the number of swimmers (\( s \)). So the expression is \( \frac{8}{s} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{8}{s}\)
