Question

For 12a-12d choose yes or no to show how to use the distributive property to break apart the dividend to find the quotient 132/6.

Answer 1

Yes. (See explanation)

Explanation:

The procedure is described as follows:

`x = (132)/(6)`

`x = (126 + 6)/(6)`

`x = (126)/(6) + (6)/(6)`

`x = (6)/(6)\cdot (21+1)`

`x = 1 \cdot (21+1)`

`x = 21 + 1`

`x = 22`
