Question

Which expression below is equivalent to 4/5(1 1/4x + 3 1/3 )

Answer 1

First, change the mixed numbers into improper fractions: 1 1/4 —> 5/4 and 3 1/3 —> 10/3

rewrite equation: 4/5(5/4x + 10/3) and then distribute to 4/5(5/4x) + 4/5(10/3) = 20/20x + 40/15

simplify the sum: x + 8/3

convert 8/3 to a mixed number: 2 2/3


final answer: B. x + 2 2/3
