A number times 8

Step by step

The question

Question: write with math signs: a number times 8.

1 Change words to math

2 Put it in order

n × 8 is written 8n: the number goes in front, with no × sign.

So we get 8n.

3 Check

Let's check with a number.

Say the number is 10.

10 times 8 is 80.

And 8(10) is 80 too.

So 8n is right!

Let's look back.

First: change words to math.

Then: put it in order.

Last: check.
