Question

Use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate each expression 3×10.2=

Answer 1

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} 3\times10.2 \\ =3\left(10+0.2\right) \\ =3\left(10\right)+3\left(0.2\right) \\ =30+0.6 \\ =30.6 \end{gathered}$

The solution is;

$3\times10.2=30.6$

Explanation:

Using the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate the expression;

$3\times10.2$

An illustration of distributive property can be shown below;

$2(a+b)=2a+2b$

From the given expression, the distributive property can be used to rewrite the expression to make it easier to solve;

$10.2=10+0.2$

So;

$\begin{gathered} 3\times10.2 \\ =3\left(10+0.2\right) \\ =3\left(10\right)+3\left(0.2\right) \\ =30+0.6 \\ =30.6 \end{gathered}$

The solution is;

$3\times10.2=30.6$
