Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c'
a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
7 × (4 + 6) = 7 × 4 + 7 × 6 = 28 + 42 = 70
Answer : D
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c'
a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
6 × (4 + 3) = 6 × 4 + 6 × 3 = 24 + 18 = 42
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
9 × (5 + 2) = 9 × 5 + 9 × 2 = 45 + 18 = 63
Q 4 - Evaluate given expression using distributive property 11 × (7 − 6)
Answer : A
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c'
a × (b – c) = (a × b) – (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
11 × (7 − 6) = 11 × 7 − 11 × 6 = 77 – 66 = 11
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
8 × (3 + 4) = 8 × 3 + 8 × 4 = 24 + 32 = 56
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b – c) = (a × b) – (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
8 × (7 − 3) = 8 × 7 − 8 × 3 = 56 – 24 = 32
Q 7 - Evaluate given expression using distributive property 7 × (3 + 11)
Answer : D
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
7 × (3 + 11) = 7 × 3 + 7 × 11 = 21 + 77 = 98
Answer : C
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
6 × (5 + 9) = 6 × 5 + 6 × 9 = 30 + 54 = 84
Q 9 - Evaluate given expression using distributive property 10 × (7 + 4)
Answer : B
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
10 × (7 + 4) = 10 × 7 + 10 × 4 = 70 + 40 = 110
Q 10 - Evaluate given expression using distributive property 5 × (2 + 9)
Answer : A
Explanation
Step 1:
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Step 2:
Using distributive property of multiplication
