Answer:

D. Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A leaky pool loses 2 1/4 inches of water each day

Determine the change in the amount of water in the pool over 5 days

distribute the 5 to both -2 and -1/4

5*(-2 1/4)

5(-2 1/4) = 5(-2 + -1/4) = 5(-2) + 5(-1/4) = -10 + -5/4 = -10 + -1 1/4 = -11 1/4
