Question

Liz is using the distributive property to evaluate the expression 27(36) by using friendlier numbers. Her work is shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Liz attempted to factor 36. Since 36 = 3*12 and not 3+12, this is not the way to go. In stead of factoring 36, she should have split it into a friendly sum, like 36=30+6.

Then Step 1 should have been 27(6+30).
