Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The right question is

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 1/4(−3n+3/2) ?

A.3/4n−3/8

B.3/4n+3/8

C.−3/4n+38

D. −3/4n−3/8

The given expression is


(1)/(4)(-3n+(3)/(2))

To apply the distributive property, we just have to "distribute" the factor
(1)/(4) to each term inside of the parenthesis, as follows


(1)/(4)(-3n+(3)/(2))=(1)/(4)(-3n)+(1)/(4)((3)/(2))\\-(3)/(4)n+(3)/(8)

(Remember that when we multiply fractions, we do it linear, that is, numerator multiplies numerator and denominator multiplies denominator)

Therefore, the equivalent expression is


-(3)/(4)n+(3)/(8)

So, the answer is C.
