Answer 1

I had this question so here's the answer and explanation! :)

Answer:

The answer to your question is the first option :D

Step-by-step explanation:

Original expression

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

First option    -3/8 (-4)  + (3/8)(1/2)       This option is not equivalent because

                                                             they forgot the negative sign of the

                                                             second term.

Second option (-3/8)(-4) + (-3/8)(1/2)    This option is equivalent to the

                                                              original. Distributive property

Third option    (-3/2)(-3 1/2)                 This option is equivalent to the original

Fourth option  (-3/8)(-3) + (-3/8)(-1/2)  This option is equivalent to the original

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
