Which shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7×84/5?

Well you have nothing here, so I'll take a guess.
84/5 gives 16 4/5. I don't know how much saving in work there is in doing this but you could do this.

7 ( 16 + 4/5)
You still have to do something with 28/5 when you get done, but it is one way to do it.
