Question

(12r-8)x 1/4

Answer 1

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:

\[
3r - 2
\]
