(12r-8)x 1/4

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((12r - 8) \times \frac{1}{4}\), you can distribute \(\frac{1}{4}\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ (12r - 8) \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12r}{4} - \frac{8}{4} \]

Now simplify each term:

\[ \frac{12r}{4} = 3r \] \[ \frac{8}{4} = 2 \]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ (12r - 8) \times \frac{1}{4} = 3r - 2 \]

So the simplified expression is:

\[ 3r - 2 \]
