Question:

Which real-world scenario can be described by the algebraic expression p/8 ?

buying pizzas and giving 8p pizzas to each of 8 friends

buying 8 pizzas each of which has p slices

buying p pizzas and giving 8 slices to a friend

buying p pizzas and dividing them among 8 people

Solution:

The expression given is:

`(p)/(8)`

The expression shows that a quantity
`p` is divided into 8 parts or among 8 people.

The statement which best represents the expression is :

buying p pizzas and dividing them among 8 people

For the above real world scenario a total of
`p` pizzas are bought and then it is divided among 8 people.

Thus, share of pizza for each person can be represented by the expression:

`(p)/(8)`

This algebraic expression describes the above real world scenario.
