I had this question so here's the answer and explanation! :)
Answer:
The answer to your question is the first option :D
Step-by-step explanation:
Original expression
-3/8 (-4 + 1/2)
First option -3/8 (-4) + (3/8)(1/2) This option is not equivalent because
they forgot the negative sign of the
second term.
Second option (-3/8)(-4) + (-3/8)(1/2) This option is equivalent to the
original. Distributive property
Third option (-3/2)(-3 1/2) This option is equivalent to the original
Fourth option (-3/8)(-3) + (-3/8)(-1/2) This option is equivalent to the original
HOPE THIS HELPS :)
Answer:
The answer is -3/8 × -4 + 3/8 × 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: This is the answer because all the other options equal -3/8 × (-4+12)
