Question

Please help! 3rd grade homework is hard!

Answer 1

2/6 because the total number or amount of fruit is 6 and the total number of bananas is 2

Answer 2

(6×5) + (6×2) = 6×7

It works if you think about it like this:
5 sixes + 2 sixes = (5 + 2) sixes = 7 sixes

This is an example of the distributive property.
To put it simply, we're applying the same multiplication (×6) to two different things which are being added together (5+2).

Here's another example of the distributive property:
2×(3+4) = 2×3 + 2×4
