You exercised 24 hours each month for a year. How many hours did you exercise by the end of the year? You may be able to do the math mentally thanks to expanded notation and the Distributive Property.
So basically i don't need the answers, ms.sue can you give me some where to start, for example what should i do first, i want to do it with Distributive Property.
oh its okay i figured it out thx
To solve this problem using the Distributive Property, we can break down the exercise into smaller units and then multiply it by the number of occurrences.
First, let's determine how many times you exercised each month for a year. Since there are 12 months in a year, you exercised 24 hours per month for a total of 12 months.
We can express this using the Distributive Property by multiplying the 24 hours by 12 months:
24 hours * 12 months = 288 hours
Therefore, by the end of the year, you exercised a total of 288 hours.
By breaking down the problem into smaller units (24 hours per month) and then multiplying it by the number of months (12), you can easily determine the total number of hours you exercised using the Distributive Property.
