Question

Which shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7 times 8 and four-fifths?

Answer 1

Answer:

I have no clue as to what the options were, but the answer is 61 and three-fifths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the fraction options were a little distorted, so I'll work it out anyway.

7 • 8 4/5

7(8 + 4/5)

7 • 8 is 56, and 7 • 4/5 is 28/5.

56 + 28/5

28/5 as a mixed-number fraction (I think that's what it's called) is 5 3/5.

56 + 5 + 3/5

61 + 3/5

61 3/5 (61 and three-fifths)

There!

(Sorry about not getting the options...)
