how can I rewrite 55+33 in distributive property?
55 = 11*5
33 = 11*3
so, what do you think?
if unsure, review the property.
To rewrite 55 + 33 using the distributive property, we need to express one of the numbers as the sum or difference of two numbers. We can choose to express 55 as the product of 5 and 11 because 5 * 11 = 55.
Therefore, we can rewrite 55 + 33 as (5 * 11) + 33.
Now, we can use the distributive property, which states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c).
Applying this property to our expression, we get:
(5 * 11) + 33 = (5 * 11) + (5 * 6)
Now, we can multiply the numbers inside the parentheses to calculate the sum:
(55) + (30) = 85
Therefore, the expression 55 + 33 can be rewritten using the distributive property as 85.
