Explain how you know whether 1/15 is equal a terminating decimal or

The lame answer is that you put it into a calcuator and see.

The more formal way you know is if, when the fraction is reduced, the denominator's only prime factors are 2s or 5s.  If that's the case, the fraction will terminate.  If you have any prime factor other than 2 or 5, it will repeat.

But knowing that "2 or 5 prime factor" idea would have to be something specifically taught in your class (or a prerequisite class).

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.
zepelin [54]

Option D

Using the distributive property, -7(8x – 3) + x = -55x + 21

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to use distributive property to simplify the given expression

Given expression is:

-7(8x – 3) + x

Let us first understand about distributive property

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

<em><u>The distributive property is represented as:</u></em>

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Apply this property in given expression for -7(8x - 3)

-7(8x - 3) = (- 7 \times 8x) + (-7 \times -3)\\\\-7(8x - 3) = -56x +21

Apply the above result in given expression

-7(8x - 3) + x = -56x + 21 + x

Combine the like terms. Add -56x and x

-7(8x - 3) + x = -56x + 21 + x = -55x + 21\\\\-7(8x - 3) + x = -55x + 21

Thus the given expression is simplified. Option D is correct
