The distributive property states that:
a(b+c)=ab+bc.
or more generally: a(b+c+d)=ab+av+ad.
This is a very useful tool to perform multiplication.
For example, if we want to multiply 7 by 234, we can proceed as follows:
7*234=7(200+30+4)=7*200+7*30+7*4=1400+210+28=1610+28=1638
back to our problem,
4 * 24 = 4(20+4)=4*20+4*4=80+16=96 ($)
So, instead of multiplying 4 by 24, we multiplied 4 by 20 and 4, which is easier, and then added these together.
Answer:
4 * 24 = 4(20+4) [=4*20+4*4=80+16=96 ($)]
If a coral reef grows at a steady rate every week, then to find how much it grows in 12 weeks, we need to multiply the growth rate by 12 weeks. Also, since we want our answer in centimeters, we can change the growth rate to centimeters. 0.15m = 15cm
15cm * 12 = 180cm
The coral reef will grow 180cm in 12 weeks.
Answer:
B a = 180 -77-60
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles add to 180 degrees since they form a straight line
77+ 60+a = 180
a = 180 -77-60
20
This is because
2x+(6x+20)=180
8x+20=180
8x=160
8x/8=160/8
X=20
