Explain how you would find 2 x 2 1/3 using the distributive property.
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
2 * 2 1/3 = (2*2) + 2(1/3) = 4 2/3
I don't know the answer plz tell me the answer for 2× 2 1/3
I don't know the answer of (3+1) 12=3+
To find 2 x 2 1/3 using the distributive property, we first need to convert the mixed number 2 1/3 into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). In this case, 2 x 3 + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7.
So, 2 1/3 can be written as an improper fraction: 7/3.
Now, we can use the distributive property. It states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a x (b + c) is equal to (a x b) + (a x c).
In this case, a is 2 and (b + c) is 7/3.
So, we have: 2 x (7/3) = (2 x 7) + (2 x 3/3).
Multiply 2 by 7 to get 14, and multiply 2 by 3/3 to get 6/3.
Now, we can simplify 6/3. Since 6 is divisible by 3, we can reduce the fraction to 2/1.
Therefore, 2 x (7/3) = 14 + 2/1.
Finally, we add the whole number and fraction: 14 + 2/1 = 14 + 2 = 16.
So, 2 x 2 1/3 using the distributive property is equal to 16.
