what inequality represents the sentence below? The product of a number and 5 is no more than 8.

To represent the given sentence as an inequality, you would first need to understand the key elements.

The word "product" indicates multiplication, and "no more than" implies that the result should be less than or equal to a certain value. In this case, the result should be less than or equal to 8.

To write the inequality, you can let the variable "x" represent the number. The product of the number and 5 can be written as 5x. The inequality can then be written as:

5x ≤ 8

This inequality represents the sentence "The product of a number and 5 is no more than 8."

x*5 <= 8
