Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Use the distributive property to solve the multiplication problems.
1. Fill in the blanks to show how to break apart the numbers using the distributive property.
Example: 4 x 7 = 4 x (5 + 2) = (4 x 5) + (4 x 2) = 20 + 8 = 28
a. 3 x 8 = 3 x ( + ) = (3 x ) + (3 x ) = + =
b. 5 x 6 = 5 x ( + ) = (5 x ) + (5 x ) = + =
2. Use the distributive property to solve the following problems. Show your work.
a. 6 x 7 =
b. 4 x 9 =
3. Which expression shows the distributive property for 8 x 5?
(8 + 2) x 3
(8 x 3) + (8 x 2)
8 + 5
8 x (2 + 3)
4. Tell whether each statement is True or False.
a. 7 x (1 + 4) = (7 x 1) + (7 x 4)
True
False
b. (2 x 5) + (2 x 3) = 2 x 8
True
False
5. Match each multiplication problem with the correct distributive property expression.
1. 9 x 4
a. (7 x 5) + (7 x 1)
2. 7 x 6
b. (9 x 2) + (9 x 2)
3. 5 x 8
