Question

Rewrite 26x18 using distributive property

Answer 1

To use the distributive property to rewrite 26x18, break down 18 into 10+8, multiply each by 26, and then add the results together to get 468.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite 26x18 using the distributive property, we can express one of the numbers in a way that simplifies the multiplication.

Let's choose 18 and break it down into 10 + 8.

Now, we apply the distributive property: 26x18 = 26x(10+8)

This means we do the multiplication separately for each part:

1. 26x10 = 260
2. 26x8 = 208

Now, we add the results of these multiplications together:

260 + 208 = 468

Therefore, 26x18 rewritten using the distributive property is 260+208, which equals 468.
