Answer:

12 + 1/4 x 12, 12 x 5/4, and 12 (1 + 1/4)

Explanation:

To solve this, you need to add 1/4 of 12 to 12. 1/4 of 12 is 3, and 12 + 3 is 15. All of these equations are equal to 15, therefore they are all correct.

1/4 x 12 = 3 + 12 = 15

12 x 5/4 = 60/4 = 15

1 + 1/4 = 5/4

5/4 x 12 = 60/4 = 15

Answer:

C, D, F

Explanation:

She walked 12 miles. Then she walked 1/4 that distance. "That distance" is 12 miles.

That means she walked 12 miles plus 1/4 of 12 miles.

She walked

12 + 1/4 * 12

You can factor out 12 from the expression above, and write it as

12(1 + 1/4)

Now you can do the addition in parentheses.

12(1 + 1/4) = 12(4/4 + 1/4) = 12(5/4)

Answer:

C, D, F
