Application of Distributive Property
7x68
After finding the product, write the result along with how you applied the distributive property.
To find the product of 7x68, we can apply the distributive property.
Step 1: Start by breaking down 68 into its place values: 60 and 8.
Step 2: Now, distribute the 7 to each term:
7 * 60 = 420
7 * 8 = 56
Step 3: Add the two products to get the final result:
420 + 56 = 476
Therefore, the result of 7x68 using the distributive property is 476.
To find the product of 7 and 68 and apply the distributive property, you can break down 68 using its place value.
Let's start by writing 68 as 60 + 8.
Now, apply the distributive property, which states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the product of a and the sum of b and c is equal to the sum of the products of a and b, and a and c.
In this case, a = 7, b = 60, and c = 8.
So, we can rewrite the expression as:
7 * (60 + 8)
Next, distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses:
7 * 60 + 7 * 8
Now, we can perform the calculations:
420 + 56
Finally, add the two values together:
476
Therefore, the product of 7 and 68 is 476, and the distributive property was applied by breaking down 68 into 60 + 8 and distributing the 7 to both terms.
