Question

use the distributive property and solve 3/4*(8/9-40)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is - 88/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 3/4(8/9-40)

So , If we open the brackets,

  (3/4 x 8/9) - (3/4 x 40)

  (2/3) - 30

  2/3 - 90/3                                                        (LCM)

  2-90/3

  -88/3

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

The correct answer is -88/3.

Given:

The expression 3/4*(8/9-40)​.

To Find:

The value of the given expression using the distributive property.

Solution:

To solve this problem we need to understand the distributive property of multiplication over addition and subtraction. It states that multiplication can be distributed over addition and subtraction, i.e. if a, b, and c are three integers, then:

a x (b+c) = (axb) + (axc)      

a x (b-c) = (axb) - (axc)

We need to find the value of 3/4x(8/9 - 40)​. Using the distributive property, as shown above, we get:

3/4 x (8/9 - 40)​ = (3/4 x 8/9) - (3/4 x 40) = 2/3 - 30 = -88/3.

Hence, the correct answer is -88/3.
