Question

Write an expression that is equivalent to three over four (5z+ 16).

Answer 1

15 over fourz +12

Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.
