The product of 8 and twice a number is 3.
What would that translate to if you were to write it out as an equation?
8(2n)=3
8(2n) = 3
16n = 3
n = 3/16
To write the given problem as an equation, we can break it down into smaller parts:
Let's assume the unknown number as 'x'.
"Twice a number" can be expressed as 2 * x.
"The product of 8 and twice a number" can be expressed as 8 * (2 * x).
And finally, we are told that the product of 8 and twice a number is equal to 3. So the equation becomes:
8 * (2 * x) = 3
