For this case we have the following product:

(5) * (548)
Rewriting the number 548 as the sum of three numbers we have:

(5) * (500 + 40 + 8)
Using the distributive property:

500 * 5 + 40 * 5 + 8 * 5 = 2500 + 200 + 40 2500 + 200 + 40 = 2740
Answer:
Write 548 as 500 + 40 + 8. Multiply each addend by 5. Then add the three products to get 2,740.
