Question

Explain how you can use the Distributive property to solve 9 X 6.3rd grade subject

Answer 1

Given,

The expression is,

`9*6`

Here, 9 can be written as 9 = 4+5

6 is written as 3+3.

Substituting the values in the above expression then,

`(4+5)*6`

By using distributive property,

`4*6+5*6=24+30=54`

Similarly,

`9*(3+3)`

By using distributive property,

`9*3+9*3=27+27=54`
