Question

Explain how to use the distributive property to find the
product (3)(4 1/5)

Answer 1

Answer:

12 and 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can first change the 4 and 1/5 to 21/5. 3*(21/5). Because we can't cross simplify 3 and 5, we just do: (3*21)/5=63/5=12 and 3/5

Answer 2

Answer:

Rewrite 3 ( 4   1 /5  ) as 3 ( 4 +  1 5  ) . Distribute the 3 to get 3(4) + 3 (  1 /5  ) . Multiply to get 12 +   3 /5  . Then add to get 12  3 /5
