Question

Explain how finding 4 times 384 can help you find 4 times 5384.then find both products

Answer 1

Answer:

Given the following: 4 times 384 can help you find 4 times 5384.

$4 \times 384 = 1536$                

Now, find $4 \times 5384$

Using Distributive property: $a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

We can write $4 \times 5384$ as

$4 \times (5000+384)$

Apply distributive property we have;

$4 \times 5000 + 4\times 384$

Now, find both products;

we know:  $4 \times 384 = 1536$            

$20000 + 1536$ = 21,536
