Question

How do you multiply and then use distributive property?

Answer 1

It depends on the question given, for example

you can do distributive property will multiplying.

Example 1:

there is two ways on doing distributive property.

I can do 4(8+3)

add 8+3 since it is inside the parenthesis which equals = 11 then multiply the outside on what you added. 4x11= 44

example 2: I can also do it another way. 4(8+3) distribute the 4 by multiplying the 4 with both numbers. 4x8 and 4x3 which equals 32, and 12. add 32+12=44

so either way you will get the same answer. hope I helped.
