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.

Calculate 4 x 43 using the Distributive Property.

Back

4 x 43 = 4 x (40 + 3) = 4*40 + 4*3 = 160 + 12 = 172.

Front

Solve 89 x 6 using the Distributive Property.

Back

89 x 6 = (80 + 9) x 6 = 80*6 + 9*6 = 480 + 54 = 534.

Front

Solve 73 x 4 using the Distributive Property.

Back

73 x 4 = (70 + 3) x 4 = 70*4 + 3*4 = 280 + 12 = 292.

If a = 2 and b = 3, what is 4(a + b)?

Back

4(a + b) = 4(2 + 3) = 4*2 + 4*3 = 8 + 12 = 20.
