Question
There are 8 rows of flowers in the garden. Each row has 3 roses, 4 mums, and 5 tulips. The expression represents this situation is.
- (8 × 3) × (8 × 4) × (8 × 5)
- 8 (3 + 4 + 5)
- 8 (3 × 4 × 5)
- 8 + 3 + 4 + 5
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: 8 (3 + 4 + 5)
Here, it is given that there are 8 rows of flowers in a garden each having 3 roses, 4 mums and 5 tulips. We have to find the number of flowers in the garden.
Number of rows = 8.
Number of roses in each row = 3.
Number of mums in each row = 4.
Number of tulips in each row = 5.
So, number of flowers in each row = (3+4+5).
Thus, number of flowers in the garden = 8(3+4+5).
Hence, the correct option is A.
We can also find the number of flowers by finding the number of different flowers and then adding them togerther.
