• 8 is multiplied by 5, resulting in 40.

• 8 is subtracted from 5, resulting in 40.

• 8 is added to 5, resulting in 40.

How can we interpret the equation 8 times 5 equals 40?

• 40 is 8 times as many as 5.

• 40 is 5 times as many as 8.

• Both A and B are correct.

• Neither A nor B is correct.

If 40 is equal to 5 times 8, what does this imply?

• 40 is 8 times as many as 5.

• 40 is 5 times as many as 8.

• 40 is 5 times as many as 5.

• 40 is 8 times as many as 8.
