The problem asks to choose the expression that shows how many almonds Miles snacked on in total, given that:

- He already snacked on **a** almonds.
- Then he snacked on another 8 almonds.

To express the total number of almonds he snacked on, we need to add the number of almonds he already ate (**a**) to the 8 additional almonds he ate.

Thus, the correct expression is:

\[
a + 8
\]

This matches the third option in the list.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. What happens if Miles snacked on **b** almonds instead of 8 more? How would the expression change?
2. How do you solve expressions like \(a + 8\) if you know the value of **a**?
3. What is the difference between expressions like \(a + 8\) and \(a - 8\)?
4. How would the expression change if Miles snacked on half the almonds he originally had?
5. Can this type of expression be solved for negative numbers?

**Tip**: Always read word problems carefully to identify the key operations like addition or subtraction before solving.

Miles already snacked on a almonds. Then he snacked on another 8 almonds. Choose the expression that shows how many almonds Miles snacked on in all.

Learn how to solve a basic algebra problem where you add a variable to a constant. In this example, Miles already ate 'a' almonds and then ate 8 more. We use the expression a + 8 to calculate the total number of almonds. This problem is suitable for students in Grades 5-6.
