8 0

The distributive property in a given field combines multiplication with addition, that is in a field <span>F<span>, any elements <span><span><span>a<span>,b</span></span> and </span><span>c which satisfy the following rule:</span></span></span></span>

<span>a(b+c<span>)=</span><span>ab</span>+<span>ac</span></span>

<span><span> </span> </span>

<span>The whole numbers are a subset of the field </span><span>R, which is composed of all rational and irrational numbers, hence the whole numbers satisfy this property. Therefore, if I wish to multiply 5 and 10, I can split this down to simplify the problem (or simply highlight the logical reasoning behind how long multiplication works.) To demonstrate:</span>

<span>5∗10=5∗(2+8<span>)=</span>5∗2+5∗8=10+40=50</span>

<span> </span>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) If g is the number of gallons left in the tank, and t is the time in hours since 8AM:

g = 8 gal − (1 gal / 24 mi) (60 mi / 1 hr) (t hr)

g = 8 − 2.5t

(b) If d is the distance traveled:

d = 60 mi/hr × t hr

d = 60t

(c) When George runs out of gas, g = 0.

0 = 8 − 2.5t

t = 3.2

The distance he travels is:

d = 60(3.2)

d = 192

George travels 192 miles.

3.2 hours after 8AM, the time is 11:12AM.
