Answer:
F. Distributive Property
Explanation:
So with the equation:
12 x 47 = 12 (40 + 7)
The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
The next steps in the process:
= 12 x 40 + 12 x 7
= 480 + 84
= 564
is an example of the distributive property because you multiply each addend separately and then add them.
You essentially break up 47 into 40 + 7 to make the multiplication easier.
