Responses

A 15 x 40 = 40 x 1515 x 40 = 40 x 15

B 15 + 40 = 5(3 + 8)15 + 40 = 5(3 + 8)

C 15 + 40 = 5515 + 40 = 55

D (3 + 8)5 = 5(3 + 8)

Answer 1

B because when using the distributive property, you multiply the number out of the parentheses by each number inside of the parentheses. So you would multiply 5 times three, which is 15, then you would multiply 5 times 8 which is 40. So 15+40 is equivalent to the expression.

Answer 2

B is the correct answer
