See a solution process below:

Multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

$0.25 (6 q + 32) \Rightarrow$ $color(red)(0.25)(6q + 32) =>$

$(0.25 \times 6 q) + (0.25 \times 32) \Rightarrow$ $(color(red)(0.25) xx 6q) + (color(red)(0.25) xx 32) =>$

$1.5 q + 8$ $1.5q + 8$

How do you use the distributive property to simplify 0.25(6q+32)0.25 (6q + 32)?
