To simplify the expression using the distributive property, we need to multiply 1/2 by both terms inside the parentheses.
1/2(1/2y) - 1/2(3/4)
Multiplying 1/2 by 1/2y gives us (1/2)(1/2y) = 1/4y.
Multiplying 1/2 by 3/4 gives us (1/2)(3/4) = 3/8.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 1/4y - 3/8.
Use the distributive property to simplify the expression
1/2(1/2y-3/4)
