Question

Marla did 65 sit ups each day for one week use the distributive property to show an expression you can use to find the total number of sit ups Marla did during the week

Answer 1

Ok so without the distributive property we would do 65*7. All u have to do is spread it out like this:-


65+65+65+65+65+65+65=455

hope i helped u:D

Answer 2

Distributive property of Multiplication with respect to addition

a × (b+c)=a×b+a×c

Number of situps done by marla in a day=65 sit ups

Number of situps done by Marla in a week

=65 × 7

=7 × 65------Using Commutativity(A×B=B×A)

=7 × (60 +5)----Using Distributivity of Multiplication with respect to Addition

 =7 ×60 +7 ×5

=420 +35

=455 sit ups
