Answer

720/8

Explanation

The question is asking for the average number of customers who will cancel their contract next year. Given that 1 in 8 customers will not renew their contract, this means that 1 out of every 8 customers will cancel their contract. To find the average number of customers who will cancel their contract, we need to divide the total number of new customers by 8. The correct mathematical expression for this calculation is 720/8. The other expressions do not correctly represent the situation described in the question. For example, 720-(720/8) would subtract the number of customers who cancel their contract from the total number of new customers, which does not make sense in this context. Similarly, 720\times (1/9) and 720-(720/9) do not correctly represent the situation, as there is no mention of 9 customers in the question. Finally, 720/9 would divide the total number of new customers by 9, which also does not correctly represent the situation, as there is no mention of 9 customers in the question.
