Question
The following is the correct way to answer the problem 2(9 + 4) according to the distributive property is?
- 2 × 94 = 188
- 9 + 4 = 13 and 13 × 2 = 26
- 2 × 9 = 18 and 18 + 4 = 22
- 2 × 9 = 18 and 2 × 4 = 8 and 18 + 8 = 26
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: 2 × 9 = 18 and 2 × 4 = 8 and 18 + 8 = 26
We have to find the value of 2(9+4).
According to the distributive property, we get
2(9 + 4) = (2 × 9) + (2 × 4) = 18 + 8 = 26.
Hence, the correct option is B.
We can also find the result by using BODMAS rule.
