Question

Explain how finding 4 times 384 can help you find 4 times 5384.then find both products

Answer 1

Given the following: 4 times 384 can help you find 4 times 5384.

`4 * 384 = 1536`

Now, find
`4 * 5384`

Using Distributive property:
`a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c`

We can write
`4 * 5384` as

`4 * (5000+384)`

Apply distributive property we have;

`4 * 5000 + 4* 384`

Now, find both products;

we know:
`4 * 384 = 1536`

`20000 + 1536` = 21,536
