Question

72 divided by 4 in distributive property

Answer 1

72=80-8

72/4=72*1/4=1/4*72=1/4(80-8)=1/4(80)-1/4(8)=20-2=18

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{60}{4}+\frac{12}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to write 72 divided by 4 in distributive property.

We can write 72 as $60+12$.

Dividing by 4:

$\frac{72}{4}=\frac{60+12}{4}$

Using distributive property $\frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}$, we will get:

$\frac{60}{4}+\frac{12}{4}$

$15+3$

$18$

Therefore, we can write our given number as $\frac{60}{4}+\frac{12}{4}$.
