Question

Using tally marks, which one of the following represents the number eight?

• A. $\left|\right|\left|\right|\left|\right|$
• B. $\left|\right|||\left|\right|$
• C. $\bcancel{\left|\right|\left|\right|}$ $\left|\right|$
• D. $\bcancel{\left|\right|\left|\right|}$ $\left|\right||$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\bcancel{\left|\right|\left|\right|}$ $\left|\right||$

We know that,

$8=5+3$
Here, $5$ is represented by $\bcancel{\left|\right|\left|\right|}$ and $3$ is represented by $\left|\right||$.

So $8$ is represented by $\bcancel{\left|\right|\left|\right|}$ $\left|\right||$

Hence, the correct option is D.
