Distributive Property

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum by distributing the multiplication to each addend.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 4 x (2 + 3)

Back

4 x (2 + 3) = (4 x 2) + (4 x 3) = 8 + 12 = 20.

Front

Find the missing factor: 12 x 5 = (10 x 5) + (_?_ x 5)

Back

2.

Which breaks down 6 x 7 correctly?

Back

(6 x 5) + (6 x 2).

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 3 x (4 + 6)

Back

3 x (4 + 6) = (3 x 4) + (3 x 6) = 12 + 18 = 30.

Front

What is an example of using the Distributive Property?

Back

To find 7 x 9, you can use 7 x (5 + 4) = (7 x 5) + (7 x 4) = 35 + 28 = 63.

Front

Solve using the Distributive Property: 2 x 15

Back

2 x 15 = 2 x (10 + 5) = (2 x 10) + (2 x 5) = 20 + 10 = 30.

What does it mean to break a number apart in multiplication?

Back

It means to split a number into smaller parts to make multiplication easier, using the Distributive Property.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 5 x (3 + 2)

Back

5 x (3 + 2) = (5 x 3) + (5 x 2) = 15 + 10 = 25.
