• A. $4a+8$
• B. $\frac{a}{8}+4$
• C. $\frac{a}{4}+8$
• D. $8a+4$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{a}{8}+4$

As we do not know the number, let us assign a variable to represent the number.

Number is divided by 8, and then 4 is added to it.
The equation that represents the scenario = $\frac{Number}{8}$ + 4

In the given options, the one option which correctly represents this is $\frac{a}{8}$ + 4.
