No, they are not equivalent because if you distribute the -0.5 in the expression -0.5(3x+5) you will get -1.5x-2.5 which is not the same as -1.5+2.5
Hey there!
To solve this, divide the numbers 1/4 and 5 . . .
1/4 = 1/4
5 = 5/1
1 x 1 = 1
4 x 5 = 20
= 1/20
1/20 is already in it's simplest form, so it doesn't need to be simplified.
There are 1/20 liters of water in each glass.
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
