Question

Which equation correctly applies the distributive property?

A.−1.2·0.57·0.5=−1.2·0.5·0.57​

​B. 50+1.015=(50⋅1)+(50⋅0.01)+(50⋅0.005) ​

​C.(0.5⋅0.5)+(0.5⋅0.3)+(0.5⋅0.2)=0.5⋅(0.5+0.3+0.2) ​

​D.−2.5⋅(4⋅1.045)=(−2.5⋅4)⋅1.045 ​

Answer 1

Answer: Only Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distributive property states that

`a* (b+c+d)=a* b+a* c+a* d`

According to option 'C', we get that

a = 0.5

b = 0.5

c = 0.3

d = 0.2

So, it is written as

`0.5(0.5+0.3+0.2)=0.5* 0.5+0.5* 0.3+0.5* 0.2`

Hence, only Option 'C' is correct.
