Answer 1

An alternative way to write k/3 + 16 in words is 'The sum of k divided by three and sixteen.'

Step-by-step explanation:

An alternative way to write k/3 + 16 in words is:

Option C: The sum of k divided by three and sixteen.

In this alternative way of writing the expression, we use the word 'sum' to represent the addition operation between k/3 and 16.

For example, if k = 9, then k/3 + 16 can be written as the sum of 9 divided by three and sixteen. This emphasizes the fact that we are finding the sum of the two quantities.
