Question

Saac applied the steps below to find the product of (4.2)(–5.4).

Answer 1

Answer: Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is given by :-

(a+b)c=ac+bc, where a,b and c are any number.

The given expression : $(4.2)(-5.4)$

The above expression can be written as :

$(4+0.2)(-5.4)$

When we apply distributive property to the given expression, we get

$(4)(-5.4)+(0.2)(-5.4)\\\\=(-5.4)(4)+(-5.4)(0.2)$

Hence, Step 2 shows the distributive property applied by Isaac.

Answer 2

Step 2: = (–5.4)(4) + (–5.4)(0.2) this step is applied the distributive property
