Answer: 31

First, we can break down the number 62.

We will break the number 62 down into 60 + 2.

Now, we will divide the numbers we get after we break down 60.

60 ÷ 2 = 30

2 ÷ 2 = 1

30 + 1 = 31

The answer to your question is 31.

Answer: The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c). The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division. ... Then we need to remember to multiply first, before doing the addition!

Step-by-step explanation: According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.
