Question

Help me I am going to dye I have bean on the same question for 20 min! Brooo I'm in 6th grade and don't know what multiply 6 and 42 using distributive property is OMG HELP ME

Answer 1

6 * 42 = 6 * (20 + 22)

= (6 * 20) + (6 * 22) = 120 + 132 = 252

Explanation:

Here, we want to multiply 6 by 42 using distributive property

In this case, we can have the distributive property as;

a * ( b + c) = ab + bc

Thus, we can represent 42 as (20 + 22)

so 6 * 42 becomes 6 * (20 + 22)

Using the distributive property, we have

(6 * 20) + (6 * 22)

= 120 + 132 = 252
