what is the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5)
To find the value expression, we need to multiply the whole number and the fraction separately, and then add the two results together.
First, let's multiply 4 and 1/4:
4 * 1/4 = 4/4 = 1
Next, let's multiply 1 and -13.5:
1 * -13.5 = -13.5
Finally, let's add the two results together:
1 + (-13.5) = -12.5
Therefore, the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5) is -12.5.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's correct the calculation:
To find the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5), we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
4 1/4 can be written as (4 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 17/4
Now we can multiply 17/4 by -13.5:
17/4 * -13.5 = -229.5/4
Thus, the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5) is -229.5/4.
what is the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5)
A -54 1/4
B 57 3/8
C -57 3/8
D 54 1/4
To find the value expression of 4 1/4 (-13.5), we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
4 1/4 = (4 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 17/4
Next, we multiply the improper fraction by -13.5:
17/4 * -13.5 = -229.5/4
Simplifying the result, we get:
-229.5/4 = -57 3/8
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: -57 3/8.
