Answer:

240 x 15 = 3600

Explanation:

Find : 240 x 15

The Distributive Property states that:

A(B +C) = AB + AC

(a) 240 x 5 = 1200

(b) 240 x ______ = 2400

or, ______ = 2400 / 240 = 10

⇒ 240 x 10 = 2400

c) 12,00 + _____ = _____

⇒ 1,200 + 2,400 = 3,600

Now, 240 x 15 = 240 (10 + 5)

= 240(10) + 240 (5) [Using the Distributive Property]

= 2400 + 1200 ( from (a), (b) )

= 3600 (using (c))

Hence, 240 x 15 = 3600
