To simplify the expression \((3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8)\), we first calculate the products inside each parentheses:

Question

1. Calculate \(3r \cdot 5\):
\[
3r \cdot 5 = 15r
\]

2. Calculate \(-3 \cdot 8\):
\[
-3 \cdot 8 = -24
\]

Now we can substitute these results back into the expression:
\[
(3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8) = 15r \cdot (-24)
\]

Next, we multiply \(15r\) with \(-24\):
\[
15r \cdot (-24) = -360r
\]

Therefore, the equivalent expression is:
\[
\boxed{-360r}
\]

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8)\), we can break it down step by step.

1. First, let's calculate what's in the first parentheses: \[ 3r \cdot 5 = 15r \]

2. Next, we calculate what's in the second parentheses: \[ -3 \cdot 8 = -24 \]

Now that we have these results, we can rewrite the expression: \[ (3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8) = 15r \cdot (-24) \]

Now, let's multiply \(15r\) by \(-24\): \[ 15r \cdot (-24) = -360r \]

So, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{-360r} \]
