She decides to rewrite the number 78 using the distributive property.which answer is a correct way to rewrite 78 using the distributive of multiplication over addition
To rewrite 78 using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, we need to break down the number 78 into smaller factors that can be distributed.
One way to rewrite 78 using the distributive property would be:
78 = 10(7 + 8)
This breaks down 78 into the factors 10, 7, and 8. The distributive property is then applied by multiplying 10 by both 7 and 8, and adding the resulting products together.
Another correct way to rewrite 78 using the distributive property would be:
78 = 6(13 + 1)
This breaks down 78 into the factors 6, 13, and 1. Applying the distributive property, we multiply 6 by both 13 and 1, and add the products together.
Note that there might be other ways to rewrite 78 using the distributive property, as long as it involves breaking down 78 into two or more factors and distributing multiplication over addition.
