Question

Which steps show how to use the distributive property to evaluate 6 times 49

Answer 1

Answer:

294

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property for multiplication is as follows :

a(b+c) = ab + ac

We need to evaluate 6 times 49 i.e. 6(49).

We can write 49 as (50-1)

6(50-1) = 6(50+(-1))

Here, a = 6, b = 50 and c = -1

So,

6(50+(-1)) = 6(50) + 6(-1)

= 300-6

= 294

So, answer is 294. Option (A) is somehow correct.
