How do you simplify `1/3(12+6r)`?

Answer 1

`4 + 2r`

Explanation:

Remember that multiplying by `1/3` is just the the same as dividing by 3. Many people see fractions and think they are difficult.

A number in the numerator is multiplied and a number in the denominator means divide by.
`12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 6r ÷ 3 = 2r`
