Answer:

Ladarius is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all the variables.

The expression Ladarius wrote is

[tex]5{x}^{8} {y}^{3} [/tex]

To find the degree of this monomial we add the exponents on each variable.

The degree of the monomial is 8+3=11

Therefore Ladarius is correct.
