Question

Rewrite the expression using the distributive property: 0.6(140 - p)



84 + 0.6p

84 - 0.6p

20 - p

20 - 0.6p

Answer 1

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

\[
0.6(140) - 0.6(p)
\]

Calculating \( 0.6 \times 140 \):

\[
0.6 \times 140 = 84
\]

Now substituting that back into the expression:

\[
84 - 0.6p
\]

So, the expression \( 0.6(140 - p) \) rewritten using the distributive property is:

\[
84 - 0.6p
\]

The correct choice from your options is:

**84 - 0.6p**
