Write an expression that shows how to multiply 7x256 using expanded form and distributive property

7(200 + 50 + 6) = (7 x 200) + (7 x 50) + (7 x 6) = 1,400 + 350 + 42 = 1,792

(I will tell you during the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, if you want to multiply by using 7x256 using expanded form and distributive property, well here you go!

First:

7x256= ???

We are still figuring out the "???"

In the meantime let's use expanded form and distributive property!

7x256

Let's break apart the underlined number and multiply 7 with it!

7 x 256 = 7 x (200 + 50 + 6)

Now, we multiply the 7 and add the results together!

(7 x 200) + (7 x 50) + (7 x 6) =

  1,400   +     350   +    42 =

Ok now let's add!

    1,400

      350

  +    42

    1,792

Ok now we got 1,792 as our answer!

I hope this helped and have a good day! ❤️
