What is 4 times 5 and 1 over 8 distributive property?

Answer 1

The distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum, you can multiply each addend separately and then add the products. In this case, 4 times 5 is 20, and 4 times 1/8 is 1/2. Therefore, using the distributive property, 4 times 5 and 1/8 is equal to 20 + 1/2, which simplifies to 20 1/2 or 20.5.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math lingo! So, like, when you distribute the 4 over the 5, you get 20, and when you distribute it over the 1/8, you get 4/8, which simplifies to 1/2. So, the distributive property in action here gives you 20 and 1/2. Math can be fun, right?

Answer 3

(4 x 5) = (4 x 1/8) = 20 + 4/8 = 20.5
