Evaluate the expression \(0.3(3 - 0.5)\).
Answer (2)
Given equation: 0.3(3-0.5).
Now, we need to evaluate.
To evaluate the given equation we need to simplify and follow the rule.
=> 0.3 will be multiplied to both numbers inside the parenthesis
=> (0.3 x 3)-(0.3 x 0.5)
=> 0.9 - 0.15
Now subtract 0.9 to 0.15
=> 0.75
The answer is 0.75. This equation applies the distributive property of multiplication because we distributed 0.3 to both numbers inside the parenthesis.
The evaluated expression of 0.3 ( 3 − 0.5 ) is 0.75 . We first simplified inside the parentheses to 2.5 , then multiplied that by 0.3 . Hence, the answer is 0.75 .
