Question

use the area model to multiply 5(0.6r - 1). first, find the partial products. write numbers as integers, decimals, or simplified proper or improper fractions. now, write the product. 5(0.6r - 1) =

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply 5 by 0.6r

$5\times0.6r = 3r$

Step2: Multiply 5 by - 1

$5\times(-1)=-5$

Step3: Combine partial - products

$3r+( - 5)=3r - 5$

Answer:

$3r - 5$
