To find the correct expression that models the given verbal description, let's break it down.
The verbal description is "the number of markers, m, in 8 packages of markers."
We want to find the number of markers, so it can be represented by the variable 'm'.
Now, let's consider the given expressions:
a. m + 8: This expression represents m added to 8, which does not fit the description of "the number of markers in 8 packages of markers." It represents m plus an additional 8.
b. 8m: This expression represents 8 multiplied by m. It correctly represents "the number of markers in 8 packages of markers." Each package has 'm' markers, and we have a total of '8' packages.
c. m divided by 8: This expression represents m divided by 8, which does not fit the description of "the number of markers in 8 packages of markers." It represents the number of markers in a single package, divided by 8.
d. m - 8: This expression represents m minus 8, which does not fit the description of "the number of markers in 8 packages of markers." It represents m minus 8 markers.
Therefore, the correct expression that models the verbal description "the number of markers, m, in 8 packages of markers" is b. 8m.
