Expand -5/8(3p+8).

Answer 1

To expand the expression -5/8(3p+8), we can apply the distributive property.

First, distribute -5/8 to both terms inside the parentheses:

-5/8 * 3p = (-5/8 * 3) * p = (-15/8) * p = -15p/8

-5/8 * 8 = (-5/8) * 8/1 = -40/8 = -5

Putting it all together, we have:

-5/8(3p+8) = -15p/8 - 5
