Question

What expression show how 5 times 37 can be rewritten using the distributive property?

Answer 1

The distributive property is a rule that states a single number can multiply several others... in this case, we want to show the current problem in such a way that 5 distributes across the problem.

5 x 37

or

5 (30 + 7)

this way, 5 has to multiply both numerals, but 37's total value has not changed.
