Translate the sentence into an equation. the product of 8 and a number increased by 4 is 60.
a. 8y + 4 = 60
b. 4y + 8 = 56
c. 8 ÷ y + 4 = 56
d. y + 8 + 4 = 56

Okay so if they say the product of 8 and a number that means multiplication. If they said the quotient of 8 and a number that would mean dividing. so knowing this your answer would be A because 8y means 8 times y which could be any number and then when you add 4 it has to equal 60. The answer is A.
Hope that helps.
