use distributive property to slove

5(4.9)

To solve the expression using the distributive property, you need to distribute the number outside the parentheses (in this case, 5) to each term inside the parentheses.

5(4.9) can be rewritten as (5 * 4.9).

Now, multiply 5 with each term inside the parentheses:
5 * 4.9 = 24.5

So, the result of the expression 5(4.9) is 24.5.
