Question

Which expression shows how 8*50 can be rewritten using the distributive property?

A.4*50+4*4
B.8*50+8*4
C.8*50+8*54
D.50*8+50*4

Answer 1

Actually, all of the options are wrong: the original expression evaluates to

`8\cdot 50 = 400`

while all the options evaluate to

• 
  `4\cdot 50+4\cdot 4 = 216`
• 
  `8\cdot 50+8\cdot 4 = 432`
• 
  `8\cdot 50+8\cdot 54 = 832`
• 
  `50\cdot 8+50\cdot 4 = 600`
