Question

Rewrite the expression using the distributive property: 0.6(140 - p)
A.84+0.6p
B.20-p
C.20-0.6p
D.84-0.6p

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \(0.6(140 - p)\) using the distributive property, you multiply \(0.6\) by each term inside the parentheses.

So:

\[
0.6(140 - p) = 0.6 \times 140 - 0.6 \times p = 84 - 0.6p
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:

**D. 84 - 0.6p**
