To write an expression that shows 9 * 475 multiply using expanded form an distributive property we break 475 into three numbers

475 can be break into 400 + 70 + 5

9 x 475

9 x (400 + 70 + 5) (expanded form of 475)

We use distributive property here.

We distribute 9 inside the parenthesis

9 x 400 + 9 x 70 + 9 x 5
