Question

Use multiplication and the Distributive Property to find the quotient.

96/6=

Answer 1

Give fraction : 96/6.

96 could be factored as 16*6 and 6 could be written as 1*6.

This step could be describe by multiplication property.

So, 96/6 could be written as = 16(6)/1(6).

This step could be decribe as Distributive Property.

Now, we can cross out 6's from top and bottom, we get

16/1.

16/1 could be written as just 16.

So, final answer is 16.
