Hi there!

Keep in mind that even though there is a number outside of the parentheses, you only use the distributive property of multiplication when the numbers inside the quantity are not being multiplied or divided by each other.

That means we need to multiply what is in the parentheses before multiplying what lays outside of them.

675 * 0.0025 = 1.6975

Now multiply 1.6975 times 24.17.

1.6975 * 24.17 = 41.028575.

And there you go!

Round, if necessary.

:)
