[tex]15\times(3+\frac{1}{5} )=48[/tex]
Solution:
Step 1: Given data: [tex]15\times(3+\frac{1}{5} )[/tex]
Step 2: Distributive property over addition:
a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
⇒ [tex]15\times(3+\frac{1}{5} )=(15\times3)+(15\times\frac{1}{5})[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=45+\frac{15}{5}[/tex] (Do the operation within the brackets)
⇒ [tex]=45+3[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=48[/tex]
⇒ [tex]15\times(3+\frac{1}{5} )=48[/tex]
Hence [tex]15\times(3+\frac{1}{5} )=48.[/tex]
