Answer:

B. [tex]2a\leq 5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

'The product of a number and 2 is no more than 5'.

Let the number = a.

So, the product of the number and 2 = [tex]2a[/tex]

Now, this product is no more than 5.

That is, the product is either equal to 5 or less than 5.

Thus, we get the corresponding expressions is [tex]2a\leq 5[/tex].

Hence, option B is correct.
