Answer:
see attached
Explanation:
The various forms of the expression use the relation ...
-5 1/4 = -5 + -1/4 = -(6 -3/4) = -6 +3/4
Of course, the minus sign in a product can be moved around according to the associative and commutative properties of multiplication.
(8)(-5 1/4)
= (8)(-5 + -1/4)
= 8(-5) +8(-1/4)
= 8(-5) -8(1/4)
= 8(-6 +3/4)
