Answer:

0.6b - 3c

Explanation:

Multiply 0.2 and 3b

0.2 x 3b = 0.6b

Then multiply 0.2 and 15c

0.2 x 15c = 3c

We can't add these, 3c and 6b because they have different letters.

different letter vs. different letter =

don't add

different letter vs. normal number like 5 =

dont add

same letter vs. same letter =

add

normal number vs. normal number =

add

This all goes the same for dividing, subtracting, and multiplying

I hope this helped! :)
