Three less than the product of 8 and Mabel's height
product of 8 and Mabel's height ... 8h
now, subtract 3 from that, right?
To find the answer to this question, we need to know Mabel's height. Let's suppose Mabel's height is represented by the variable "h". Now, we can write the expression "Three less than the product of 8 and Mabel's height" using variables and mathematical symbols.
The product of 8 and Mabel's height can be written as 8 * h or simply 8h.
To find three less than the product, we subtract 3 from 8h: 8h - 3.
So, the expression "Three less than the product of 8 and Mabel's height" can be represented as 8h - 3, where "h" represents Mabel's height.
