Question

Which equation correctly applies the distributive property?

A.(0.5⋅0.5)+(0.5⋅0.3)+(0.5⋅0.2)=0.5⋅(0.5+0.3+0.2) ​

B.−2.5⋅(4⋅1.045)=(−2.5⋅4)⋅1.045
​
C.−1.2⋅0.57⋅0.5=−1.2⋅0.5⋅0.57 ​

D.50+1.015=(50⋅1)+(50⋅0.01)+(50⋅0.005) ​

Answer 1

The answer should be A

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distributive property which is expressed as

`a* (b+c)\\\\=a* b+a* c`

Similarly, in option 'A', we have

(0.5⋅0.5)+(0.5⋅0.3)+(0.5⋅0.2)=0.5⋅(0.5+0.3+0.2) ​

Here, a = 0.5,

b= 0.5

c = 0.3

d = 0.2

So, it can be expressed as

`a* (b+c+d)=a* b+a* c+a* d`

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
