Question

Write an expression that is equivalent to three over four(5z + 16).

A: 15 over fourz + 16
B:15 over fourz + 12
C: three over fourz + 16
D: three over fourz + 12

Answer 1

15/4z + 12

Explanation:

Answer 2

Your answer is B. Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.
