Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{63}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given expression:

 

    (3) 4$\frac{1}{5}$  

The distributive law is mostly applied to multiplication and division which helps to expand a parentheses;

   4$\frac{1}{5}$   can be written as $\frac{21}{5}$  

 Now;

         (3) $\frac{21}{5}$  

 With distributive property, we simply multiply the two terms;

           3  x $\frac{21}{5}$     = $\frac{63}{5}$
