Question

Complete the number sentence to show an example of the Distributive Property. 3×6=

Answer 1

If you want to know how much is 3x6 the answer is 18

Answer 2

Answer:

The distributive property says that:

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

Given the number sentence: $3 \times 6$

We can write 6 as:

6 = 4+ 2

then, we have;

$3 \times (4+2)$

Apply the distributive property:

$3 \times 4 + 3\times 2$

Simplify:

12 + 6  = 18

Therefore, the value of $3 \times 6$ using the distributive property is, 18
