tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of the 300 skiers are beginners......1/4 of the 260 snowboarders are beginners..

so we want the total number of beginners..

the distributive property in this situation would be :

1/4(300 + 260) .......to solve this, u first have to get rid of the parenthesis. To do this, u multiple the number directly to the left of the parenthesis, by everything in the parenthesis.....u distribute it.

1/4(560).....now we multiply

560/4 = 140

OR

this way

1/4( 300 + 260) = 1/4(300) + 1/4(260) = 300/4 + 260/4 = 75 + 65 = 140
