Question

15 times 3 and 1/5 in distributive property

Answer 1

`15*(3+(1)/(5) )=48`

Solution:

Step 1: Given data:
`15*(3+(1)/(5) )`

Step 2: Distributive property over addition:

a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)

⇒
`15*(3+(1)/(5) )=(15*3)+(15*(1)/(5))`

⇒
`=45+(15)/(5)` (Do the operation within the brackets)

⇒
`=45+3`

⇒
`=48`

⇒
`15*(3+(1)/(5) )=48`

Hence
`15*(3+(1)/(5) )=48.`
