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.

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 3 x (4 + 5)

Back

3 x (4 + 5) = (3 x 4) + (3 x 5) = 12 + 15 = 27.

What does it mean to find a missing factor in multiplication?

Back

Finding a missing factor means determining a number that, when multiplied by another number, gives a specific product.

Front

Solve: 5 x 6 using the Distributive Property.

Back

5 x 6 = 5 x (3 + 3) = (5 x 3) + (5 x 3) = 15 + 15 = 30.

What is an array in multiplication?

Back

An array is a visual representation of multiplication, showing objects arranged in rows and columns.

Front

If 4 x 7 = 28, what is 7 x 4?

Back

7 x 4 = 28. This shows the commutative property of multiplication, where the order of factors does not change the product.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: (2 x 6) + (2 x 4)

Back

(2 x 6) + (2 x 4) = 2 x (6 + 4) = 2 x 10 = 20.

Front

What is the product of 80 x 7?

Back

80 x 7 = 560.

Front

Write an equation that matches the array: 4 rows of 3.

Back

4 x 3 = 12.

Front

What is the result of 10 x 8 using the Distributive Property?

Back

10 x 8 = 10 x (5 + 3) = (10 x 5) + (10 x 3) = 50 + 30 = 80.
