the Distributive Property uses two operations: multiplication and addition. It is an essential key to success in algebra. The Distributive Property allows you to "distribute" a number to each of the addends within parentheses. It offers another way of solving a problem.
Let the unknown number be x. Then (1/10)x = 0.002. To solve for x, multiply both sides by 1000 to remove the decimal fraction 0.002.
Then 1000(1/10)x = 1000(0.002), or 100x = 2. Dividing both sides by x returns
x=100/2, or x= 50 (answer)
The answer is 10x10x10=1,000
ten times ten times ten is one thousand
Since it's asking you to write a problem about a sharing division "situation", I'm assuming the picture above it is part of #4 so you could use that as a reference as well.
You could do 2 divided by 5 which is left with a remainder. So it could be like, "Jack has 5 cookies and wants to share with his friends, he wants to give each of his two friends 2 cookies each".. Something like that and you go ahead and solve it. The final answer will be the solution to your word problem. I hope this helped
