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

How can you use the Distributive Property to solve 5 x (4 + 3)?

Back

You can distribute: 5 x (4 + 3) = (5 x 4) + (5 x 3) = 20 + 15 = 35.

Front

What is an example of using the Distributive Property with numbers?

Back

For example, 6 x (2 + 3) = (6 x 2) + (6 x 3) = 12 + 18 = 30.

Front

If you have 5 x 7, how can you express it using the Distributive Property?

Back

You can express it as (5 x 4) + (5 x 3) because 4 + 3 = 7.

Front

What does the equation 4 x 7 = 28 represent?

Back

It represents the multiplication of 4 groups of 7, which equals 28.

Front

How can you find the total area of a rectangle using the Distributive Property?

Back

You can break it into smaller rectangles and add their areas, like (length x width1) + (length x width2).

Front

What is the result of 5 x 18 using the Distributive Property?

Back

5 x 18 can be calculated as (5 x 10) + (5 x 8) = 50 + 40 = 90.

Front

What is the equation for the area of a rectangle with length 9 and width 10 and 7?

Back

The equation is (9 x 10) + (9 x 7).

Front

What does the expression (4 x 2) + (4 x 5) represent?

Back

It represents the total area of a rectangle that can be divided into two smaller rectangles.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and addition in the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property shows that multiplication distributes over addition.
