dvds are on sale for $24 each. felipe writes the expression 4 x 24 to find the cost in dollars of buying 4 dvds. how can you rewrite felipes expression using the distributive property
$24 equals 1 DVD
? equals 4 DVD
THEN CROSS MULTIPLY.....24 TIMES 4 WHICH WILL GIVE YOU $96 FOR 4 DVD'S
Answer:
\(4\times 20+4\times 4\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that DVD's are on sale for $24 each. Felipe writes the expression 4 x 24 to find the cost in dollars of buying 4 DVD's.
We can rewrite Felipe's expression by writing 24 as sum of 20 and 4.
\(4\times (20+4)\)
Using distributive property \(a(b+c)=ab+ac\), we will get:
\(4\times 20+4\times 4\)
\(80+16=96\)
Therefore, we can rewrite Felipe's expression using distributive property as \(4\times 20+4\times 4\).
