Example Question #41 : How To Find The Distributive Property

Use the distributive property to express the sum  as the multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The distributive property can be used to rewrite an expression. When we use this property we will identify and pull out the greatest common factor of each of the addends. Then we can create a quantity that represents the sum of two whole numbers with no common factor multiplied by their greatest common factor.

 

In this case, the greatest common factor shared by each number is:

 

After we reduce each addend by the greatest common factor we can rewrite the expression:

Example Question #1 : Find Factor Pairs

Sam purchased  gummy bears and wants to make gift bags to give to his friends at school. How many different ways can Sam make gift bags with an even number of gummy bears in each bag?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by finding factor pairs. Factor pairs are composed of two numbers that are multiplied together to equal a product. List all the factor pairs of Sam’s gummy bears.

 

Do not forget to list their reciprocals.

 

Sam can make  different gift bag combinations with an even amount of gummy bears in each bag.
