A. (4 • 8) + 3

B. (8 + 3) • 4

C. 4 • (3 + 8)

D. 4 • 8 + 4 • 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

We need to find an expression that is equivalent to 4×(8+3)

We know that,

4×(8+3) = 4(11) = 44

Option (1).

(4 • 8) + 3 = 32+3 = 35. It is incorrect

Option (2).

(8 + 3) • 4 = (11) 4 = 44. It is correct.

Option (3).

4 • (3 + 8) = 4(11) = 44. It is correct.

Option (4).

4 • 8 + 4 • 3 = 32+12 = 44. It is correct.

Hence, the correct options are (2), (3) and (4).
