Question

72 divided by 4 in distributive property

Answer 1

72=80-8

72/4=72*1/4=1/4*72=1/4(80-8)=1/4(80)-1/4(8)=20-2=18

Answer 2

`(60)/(4)+(12)/(4)`

Explanation:

We are asked to write 72 divided by 4 in distributive property.

We can write 72 as
`60+12`.

Dividing by 4:

`(72)/(4)=(60+12)/(4)`

Using distributive property
`(a+b)/(c)=(a)/(c)+(b)/(c)`, we will get:

`(60)/(4)+(12)/(4)`

`15+3`

`18`

Therefore, we can write our given number as
`(60)/(4)+(12)/(4)`.
