Question

Distributive property

Answer 1

Answer:

Distributive property is to divide because the meaning of "distribute" is to divide something or part of something.

Example: 3(4+8) = 36

You have to add the numbers first before multiplying since there are parenthesis. Usually, in the distributive property you will always see parenthesis.

Answer 2

Answer: To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something. According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

example: 3. 3(10 + 2) = 3(12) = 36
