Answer:
5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the distributive property is done by multiplying the factor (outside the parentheses) to each term within it. In this case, 8(3 + 4), we multiply the 8 by 3, and then add it to the product of 8 x 4:
8(3 + 4) = 8 x 3 + 8 x 4 = 24 + 32
If we need to simplify further, this adds up to 56.
We know that 12 equals one dozen. It is not asking for a dozen, but for 9 dozen. So, we need to multiply 9 by 12. 9*12 = 108.
It says the rolls of first aid tape were divided equally into 4 boxes. We need to divide these 108 rolls into 4 equal groups, since that is what took place in the problem. So, we divide 108 by 4.
108/4 = 27. There are 27 rolls in each box.
