I got the answer i am asking for the what drawing should I show. pls help thank you
To solve the problem using a drawing and the distributive property, you can represent each day of the week as a separate distance and add them up to find the total distance.
1. Start by drawing seven equal horizontal lines, representing the seven days of the week.
______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______
2. On each line, draw boxes to represent the 21 miles that Betsy travels each day to school.
______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______
|______| |______| |______| |______| |______| |______| |______|
3. Now, you can use the distributive property to find the total distance Betsy traveled in a week.
21 + 21 + 21 + 21 + 21 + 21 + 21
4. Apply the distributive property by breaking down the multiplication:
21 * 7 = (20 * 7) + (1 * 7)
5. Simplify the multiplication:
140 + 7
6. Add the two numbers together:
147
So, Betsy traveled a total distance of 147 miles in a week.
