At a ski resort, 1/4 of the 300 skiers are beginners, and 1/4 of the 260 snowboarders are beginners. the resort staff used the distributive property to make the calculation of the total number of beginners on the ski slopes. write an expression demonstrates the distributive property? explain your answer with at least 5 sentences. *

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of the 300 skiers are beginners1/4 of the 260 snowboarders are beginners..

so we want the total number of beginners..

the distributive property in this situation would be :

1/4(300 + 260) to solve this, u first have to get rid of the parenthesis. To do this, u multiple the number directly to the left of the parenthesis, by everything in the parenthesisu distribute it.

1/4(560)now we multiply

560/4 = 140

OR

this way

1/4( 300 + 260) = 1/4(300) + 1/4(260) = 300/4 + 260/4 = 75 + 65 = 140
