Question
Represent using the Distributive Property 3 × 8.
- 24
- 60
- 50
- 40
Hint:
The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum.
The correct answer is: 24
We have to find the value of 3×8 by distributive law.
Distributive property of multiplication states that for any three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c'
a × b + c = a × b + a × c.
Step 2: Using distributive property of multiplication, we get
3 × 8 = (3 × 4) + (3 × 4) = 12 + 12 = 24.
Hence, the correct option is B.
We can simply just multiply 3 by 8 or add 3, 8 times to get the result.
