Answer 1

3x7= 21

(3×5) +(3×2)= 21

Answer 2

There are 21 marbles in total.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Fin has 7 bags of marbles each bag has 3 marbles .

We need to Show one way to break apart the seven to multiply them.

7 can be break in several ways, Let break 7 bags as 4 bags and 3 bags.

7 bags = 4 bags + 3 bags

Each bag has 3 marbles

`3* 7=3(4+3)`

Now distribute 3 inside the parentheses.

`3* 7=3* 4+3* 3`

`3* 7=12+9`

`3* 7=21`

Hence, there are 21 marbles in total.
