Question

Kayaks rent for $35 per day. Write an expression using the Distributive Property that can help you find the cost in dollars of renting 3 kayaks for a day.

Answer 1

Answer:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 4 miles per hour or 3 meter per seconds.

As per the given statement:

Kayaks rent for $35 per day.

⇒Unit rate per day = $35

We have to write an expression that can help you to find the cost in dollars of renting 3 kayaks for a day:

Cost in dollars for 3 kayaks for a day = $ $3 \times 35$

The Distributive property says that:

$a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

we can write 35 as:  30 + 5

then;

$3 \times 35 = 3 \times (30+5) =(3 \times 30)+ (3 \times 5) = 90 + 15 = \ 105$

Therefore, a expression that can help you to find the cost in dollars of renting 3 kayaks for a day is $(3 \times 30)+ (3 \times 5)$

Answer 2

5 x 3 = 15
30 x 3 = 90 
15+90=105
so that person paid $105 for that day
