Question

write an expression that shows how you can multiply 9x475 using expanded form and the distributive property

Answer 1

To multiply 9x475 using expanded form and the distributive property, you will break 475 into three numbers, multiply each of them by 9, and add the products together:

475 = 400 + 70 + 5

400x9 = 3600
70x9 = 630
5x9 = 45

3600 + 630 + 45 = 4,275
