Question

Write two equivalent expressions involving decimals that illustrate the distributive property

Answer 1

Distributive Property of each given equation:
96 divided by 6 
       => 2(40 + 8) / 6
       => (80) + (16) / 6
       => 96 / 6
       => 16

85 divided by 5
        =>(2(30 + 15) - 5 )/ 5
        => ((60 + 30) - 5) / 5
        => (90 - 5 ) / 5
        => 85 / 5
        => 17

85 divided by 6
        =>(2(30 + 15) - 5 )/ 6
        => ((60 + 30) - 5) / 6
        => (90 - 5 ) / 6
        => 85 / 6
        => 14.166…

168 divided by 7
        =>3(50 + 6) / 7
        => (150 + 18) / 7
        => (168 ) / 7
        => 24

104 divided by 4
        =>2(50 + 2) / 4
        => (100 + 4) / 4
        => 104 / 4
        => 26        

171 divided by 9
=> 3 (50 + 7) / 9
   => (150 + 21) / 9
   => (171) / 9
   => 19

102 divided by 9
   => 2 (50 + 1) / 9
   => ((2 x 50) + (2 x 1)) / 9
   => (100 + 2 ) / 9
   => 102 / 9
   =>  11.333……

102 divided by 6
   => 2 (50 + 1 ) / 6
   => ((2 x 50) + (2 x 1)) / 6
   => (100 + 2) / 6
   => 102 / 6
   => 17

210 divided by 5
   => 2 (100 + 5) / 5
   => ( (2 x 100) + (2 x 5) ) /5
   => (200 + 10)  / 5 
   => 210 /5
   => 42
