$$\begin{gathered} 8.Simplify: \\ \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{3}byu\sin gappropriateproperty. \end{gathered}$$

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{3} \\ =\frac{1}{3}\times \left[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\right]\left[\mathbf{Distributive}\mathbf{}\mathbf{law}\right] \\ =\frac{1}{3}\times \left[\frac{2+1}{4}\right] \\ =\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{4} \\ =\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$$
