The Problem:
- \(\frac{1}{8}\) the sum of 23 and 17
- Write an expression to match and then evaluate.
The Process:
Step-1: Determine the sum of 23 and 17
\(\boxed{ \ 23 + 17 = 40 \ }\)
Step-2: Calculate \(\frac{1}{6}\) the sum of 16 and 20
\(\frac{1}{8}\) of the sum of 23 and 17 means \(\frac{1}{8}\) multiply the result of adding 23 and 17.
\(\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{8} \times 40 \ }\)
We can cross out 8 and 40 because they can be completely divided, but this time we continue the multiplication process.
\(\boxed{ \ = \frac{40}{8} \ or \ 40 \div 8 \ }\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{ \ 5 \ }}\)
Thus the result is 5.
