Question

Evaluate 1/3 ( 9 - k ) using the distributive property

Answer 1

Answer:

3-$\frac{1}{3}$k

Step-by-step explanation:

when using the distributive property multiply 1/3 into everything inside the parentheses.

So your first step is to multiply 1/3 to 9.

$\frac{1}{3}$ x $\frac{9}{1}$ keeping in mind that all numbers are divisible by one.

then you get your answer of $\frac{9}{3}$ which equals 3.

From there you want to distribute the $\frac{1}{3}$ into k but you don't know what "k" is so you'll have an answer of  $\frac{1}{3}$k meaning that k whatever it is. Is being multiplied by the $\frac{1}{3}$.
