Question

1/5(3x+1/2) Whats the expanded form of this expression.

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{5}(3x+\frac{1}{2} )=\frac{3x}{5}+\frac{1}{10}$

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{1}{5}(3x+\frac{1}{2} )$.

Let us find the expanded form of the given expression.

To expand this multiply $\frac{1}{5}$ with each term inside the bracket.

$\frac{1}{5}(3x+\frac{1}{2} )=\frac{1}{5}\times3x+\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}$

               $=\frac{3x}{5}+\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{1}{5}(3x+\frac{1}{2} )=\frac{3x}{5}+\frac{1}{10}$

Hence the expanded form of the given expression is $\frac{3x}{5}+\frac{1}{10}$.
