Question

A number divided by $8$ and then added to $43$. Represent this in the form of an algebraic expression.

• A. $8x+43$
• B. $\frac{x+43}{8}$
  
• C. $\frac{x}{8+43}$
  
• D. $43+\frac{x}{8}$
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D $43+\frac{x}{8}$


Let the number be $x$.

Step 1:
Dividing the number by $8$
Number$\left(x\right)$ when divided by $8$ would become $\frac{x}{8}$.

Step 2:
Number obtained in step 1 is added to $43$ i.e. $43+\frac{x}{8}$

$\therefore 43+\frac{x}{8}$ is the required algebraic expression.

Therefore, option (d.) is the correct choice.
