Select the choice that translates the following verbal phrase correctly to an algebraic expression: 8 times the quantity of 5 less than 10

A. 8(10 - 5)

B. (8 • 5) - 10

C. 8(5 - 10)

D. (8 • 10) - 5

A

Step-by-step explanation:

"8 times" = 8 must be alone and not being multiplied or subtracted from anything

"the quantity of" is asking for a number

"5 less than 10" = 5, so we must see (10 - 5) in the correct answer

so we get 8 times 5, or 8(10 - 5)

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
