Plz ,i am having issues finding out the answer

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the equivalent expression, expand all of the expressions by multiplying the number outside the bracket and its sign with each term inside the bracket.

Given expression:

-(1/2 y + 1/4)

= -1/2 y -1/4

Option 1:

-1/4(1 +2y)

= -1/4 -1/4(2y)

= -1/4 -1/2 y

= -1/2 y -1/4

(equivalent)

Let's check the other options.

Option 2:

1/4(2y -1)

= 1/4(2y) -1/4

= 1/2 y -1/4

(not equivalent)

Option 3:

-2(1/4 y - 1/8)

= -2(1/4y) -2(-1/8)

= -1/2y +1/4

(not equivalent)

Option 4:

2(1/8 -1/4 y)

=2(1/8) -2(1/4 y)

= 1/4 -1/2y

= -1/2y +1/4

(not equivalent)

Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
