1. .8(2.50+4.95+6.00)

= .8(13.45)
= 10.76

2.
.8(2.5) + .8(4.95) + .8(6.00)
= 2.00 + 3.96 + 4.8
= 10.76

is #1 without ditribution and #2 with? or vise versa? or neither?

distribution*

#1 is with: multiply the sum

#2 is without: sum the multiples

Thanks steve :)

To solve the first expression, you can follow these steps:

1. Begin by calculating the sum of the numbers inside the parentheses: 2.50 + 4.95 + 6.00 = 13.45.
2. Multiply the sum obtained in step 1 by 0.8: 0.8 * 13.45 = 10.76.

Therefore, the value of the expression .8(2.50+4.95+6.00) is equal to 10.76.

For the second expression, you can separately calculate the multiplication for each number before adding them together. Here's how:

1. Start by multiplying each number inside the parentheses by 0.8 separately:
- 0.8 * 2.50 = 2.00
- 0.8 * 4.95 = 3.96
- 0.8 * 6.00 = 4.80

2. Add the results of the individual multiplication together: 2.00 + 3.96 + 4.80 = 10.76.

Hence, the value of the expression .8(2.5) + .8(4.95) + .8(6.00) is also equal to 10.76.
