Question

Avid has 2 types of candies: bubblegum and chocolate. If he gives Charlotte and Grace a bubblegum and a chocolate each, which property illustrates this scenario if it is represented as 2(bubblegum + chocolate) =2*bubblegum +2° chocolate?

a. Commutative Property
b. Inverse Property
c. Associative Property
d. Distributive Property

Answer 1

David's action of giving out candies is an example of the Distributive Property, where multiplication is distributed over addition. So the correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario where David gives Charlotte and Grace a bubblegum and a chocolate each, represented as 2(bubblegum + chocolate) = 2*bubblegum + 2*chocolate, illustrates the Distributive Property. This property states that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as doing each multiplication separately. In this case, David is distributing 2 candies each of both types to two people, effectively giving 2 bubblegums and 2 chocolates.
