Not sure that it is worth the effort for this multiplication, but
5*25 = 5*(20 + 5) = 5*20 + 5*5 = 100 + 25 = 125
5 x 5 = 25
The distributive property of multiplication over addition is that you can multiply the addends of a number times a number and add those together. 25 time 10=5*10+20*10
5(5 * 2.4)
25 = 5*5 = (2+3)*5 = (2*5) + (3*5) = 10 + 15 =25
The distributive property is not related to finding equivalent fractions. The distributive property is a rule that states a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac. It is used to simplify expressions and perform operations like multiplication or addition. To find an equivalent fraction, you would need to multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number.
The commutative property.
(5 x 5) + (5 x 16) = 5 x 21 = 105
When you multiply a two digit number by another, you use the distributive property because you basically are taking the tens digits times both the other tens digit and the ones digit, then the ones digit times both the other tens and other ones digits. That sounds confusing, I know, but I'll explain. If you're taking 12 times 25, you are basically doing the problem (10+2) x (20+5). You take ten times twenty, then ten times five, then two times twenty, then two times five, and add them all together.
4*25*27 = (4*25)*27 = 100*27 = 2700
The distributive property allows you to calculate 5 * 265 = 5*(200 + 60 + 5) = 5*200 + 5*60 + 5*5 = 1000 + 300 + 25 = 1325. A simpler method, though, might be if you note that 5 = 10/2 So 5*265 = 10*265/2 = 10*132.5 = 1325
(21 x 2) + (25 x 2) = 46 x 2 = 92
You can use sequences ending in every number from 3 to 25 so 23 times.
