Which of the following is an example of distributive property of multiplication over addition for rational numbers.
(a) – (1/4) × {(2/3) + (-4/7)} = [-(1/4) × (2/3)] + [(-1/4) × (-4/7)]
(b) – (1/4) × {(2/3) + (-4/7)} = [(1/4) × (2/3)] – (-4/7)
(c) – (1/4) × {(2/3) + (-4/7)} = (2/3) + (-1/4) × (-4/7)
(d) – (1/4) × {(2/3) + (-4/7)} = {(2/3) + (-4/7)} – (1/4)
(a) – (1/4) × {(2/3) + (-4/7)} = [-(1/4) × (2/3)] + [(-1/4) × (-4/7)]
Because, we know the rule of distributive law, i.e. a × (b + c)] = [(a × b) + (a × c)
