Which shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7 times 8 and four-fifths?
56 + StartFraction 28 over 5 EndFraction = 56 + 5 and three-fifths = 61 and three-fifths
56 times StartFraction 28 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 1568 over 5 EndFraction = 313 and three-fifths
15 + (StartFraction 35 over 5 EndFraction + four-fifths) = 15 + StartFraction 39 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 75 over 5 EndFraction + StartFraction 39 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 114 over 5 EndFraction = 22 and four-fifths
15 times (StartFraction 35 over 5 EndFraction + four-fifths) = 15 times StartFraction 39 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 15 over 1 EndFraction times StartFraction 39 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 585 over 5 EndFraction = 117

The first option.

Using the distributive property:
7 × (8 + 4/5) = 7×8 + 7×(4/5) = 56 + 28/5 = 56 + 5 3/5 = 61 3/5.

(You can also check: 8 4/5 = 44/5, so 7×44/5 = 308/5 = 61 3/5.)
