What is an expression showing the sum of 5 less than the number k

 5<k  

Step-by-step explanation:

k-5

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets go over each part of the sentence, and turn it into a expression.

So it first says sum. This means addition, so we can start our expression with:

+

Next is says of 5. So we know its the addition of 5:

+5

Next it says less than. So now we know less than, which is subtraction. So we can swap the addition sign for a - sign:

-5

Finally it says the number k. So we know that the subtracted value is k:

k-5

So this is your expression!

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
