Question

Which expression could be used to determine the product of -4 and 3 1/4

Answer 1

B (-4)(3) + (-4)(1/4)

Explanation:

We must find the product of -4 and 3 1/4, which is (-4)(3 1/4). We know that 3 1/4 = 3 + 1/4, so we substitute that to the expression we want.

(-4)(3 1/4) = (-4)(3 + 1/4)

Using the distributive property, we distribute the -4 to the 3 and the 1/4 and the expression becomes

(-4)(3 + 1/4) = (-4)(3) + (-4)(1/4)

I hope this helps! :)
