Question

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 1/4(−3n+3/2) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

 $\frac{1}{4}(-3n+\frac{3}{2})$ is $\frac{-6n+3}{8}$      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: $\frac{1}{4}(-3n+\frac{3}{2})$                  ......[1]

The distributive property says that:

$a.(b+c)=a.b+a.c$

Apply distributive property on [1] we have;

$=\frac{1}{4}.(-3n)+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{2}$    

Simplify:

$=\frac{-3n}{4}+\frac{3}{8}$    

$=\frac{-6n+3}{8}$    

Therefore, the expression that shows the result of applying the distributive property to  $\frac{1}{4}(-3n+\frac{3}{2})$  is  $\frac{-6n+3}{8}$    

Answer 2

1/4(-3n + 3/2) =
-3/4n + 3/8
