Answer:


(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).
