wrong

Answer 2

what is the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5)
A -54 1/4
B 57 3/8
C -57 3/8
D 54 1/4

Answer 3

To find the value expression, we need to multiply the whole number and the fraction separately, and then add the two results together.

First, let's multiply 4 and 1/4:

4 * 1/4 = 4/4 = 1

Next, let's multiply 1 and -13.5:

1 * -13.5 = -13.5

Finally, let's add the two results together:

1 + (-13.5) = -12.5

Therefore, the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5) is -12.5.

Answer 4

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's correct the calculation:

To find the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5), we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

4 1/4 can be written as (4 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 17/4

Now we can multiply 17/4 by -13.5:

17/4 * -13.5 = -229.5/4

Thus, the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5) is -229.5/4.

Answer 5

To find the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5), we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

4 1/4 = (4 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 17/4

Next, we multiply the improper fraction by -13.5:

17/4 * -13.5 = -229.5/4

Simplifying the result, we get:

-229.5/4 = -57 3/8

Therefore, the correct answer is option C: -57 3/8.
