Which expression represents the phrase 1/3 the difference of 8 and a number

The expression is explained below.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let x be the number mentioned.

Difference of the 8 and the number can be written with the help of algebraic expression:

or

Now, we have to find one third of this expression.

or

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
