Question

(5h−15) multiplied by 1/5

Answer 1

To multiply the expression \( (5h - 15) \) by \( \frac{1}{5} \), you can distribute \( \frac{1}{5} \) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[
(5h - 15) \cdot \frac{1}{5} = 5h \cdot \frac{1}{5} - 15 \cdot \frac{1}{5}
\]

Now, calculate each term:

1. For the first term:
\[
5h \cdot \frac{1}{5} = h
\]

2. For the second term:
\[
-15 \cdot \frac{1}{5} = -3
\]

Now combine the results:

\[
h - 3
\]

So, the result of \( (5h - 15) \) multiplied by \( \frac{1}{5} \) is:

\[
h - 3
\]
