Answer
30
Work Step by Step
We first apply the distributive property. Then, we simplify the resultant expression:
$48(\frac{5}{12}-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{3}{8})$
=$48(\frac{5}{12})-48(\frac{1}{6})+48(\frac{3}{8})$
=$4(\frac{5}{1})-8(\frac{1}{1})+6(\frac{3}{1})$
=$4(5)-8(1)+6(3)$
=$20-8+18$
=$12+18$
=$30$
