(c)$\left(30 \times 4 \frac{1}{2}\right)+(4 \times 4)$
(d)$\left(34 \times \frac{1}{2}\right)+(30 \times 4)+(4 \times 4)$
Answer
Answer (as printed): D
Explanation
$\left(34 \times 4 \frac{1}{2}\right) =34 \times\left(4+\frac{1}{2}\right)=(34 \times 4)+\left(34 \times \frac{1}{2}\right) =(30+4) \times 4+\left(34 \times \frac{1}{2}\right) =(30 \times 4)+(4 \times 4)+\left(34 \times \frac{1}{2}\right)$.
