Write an expression that is equivalent to three over four(5z + 16).

a: 15 over fourz + 16
b: 15 over fourz + 12
c: three over fourz + 16
d: three over fourz + 12

Your answer is B. Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.

I’ll you if you answer my questions!
