Question

What is the distributive property of 56 divided by 4

Answer 1

For this case we have the following division:

`(56)/(4)`

To make the distributive property, we can rewrite the numerator of the fraction as the sum of two numbers.

We have then:

`(56)/(4) = (1)/(4)(52 + 4)`

Then, applying the distributive property we have:

`(56)/(4) = (52)/(4) + (4)/(4)`

Finally, rewriting both fractions and adding, we have:

`(56)/(4) = 13 + 1`

`(56)/(4) = 14`

Answer:

One way to rewrite the problem to use the distributive property is:

`(56)/(4) = (1)/(4)(52+4)`

Answer 2

we know that

The distributive property for division basically means you can split your quantity up into smaller chunks that are easier to divide

so

let’s split
`56` into
`40` and
`16`

`(56)/(4) =((40+16))/(4) \\ \\ =(40)/(4) +(16)/(4) \\ \\ =10+4\\ \\ =14`
