Write an expression that shows how to multiply 7 ×256 using expanded form and distributive property

Let's make sure we know the definitions of expanded form and distributive property first. The expanded form of a number is a way of writing that number as the sum of its place values. If we break up 256 by place value, we have 2 hundreds, 5 tens, and 6 ones, so its expanded form would be 200+50+6.

The distributive property is a property of multiplication that states that if you have two terms a and (b+c) multiplied together, their product is the same as ab+ac; the a is distributed multiplicatively to the b and the c.

Putting 2 and 2 together, this question wants us to take the expanded form of 256 (200+50+6), and use the distributive property to find:



Can you use the definition of the distributive property above to find the product?

Yes, that is the correct formula. to solve this problem given the number of years, plug in the number of years for t and plug the whole thing into the

The correct answer is 10%
