The distributive property involves two differentoperations - usually addition and multiplication in the same calculation.

12 times 14 = 12*(10 + 4) You could apply the distributive property twice and go for (10 + 2)*(10 + 4)
72.divided 4 in distributive property
4 x 18 = (4 x 10) + (4 x 8)
The distributive property is: a ( b + c) = ab + ac so you need a sum. Remember that 44 is 40 + 4, that is your sum. so... 9 x 44 = 9 (40 + 4) = (9 x 40) + (9 x 4)
8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
19*14 = 19*(10 + 4) = 19*10 + 19*4 = 190 + 76 = 266 (You could use the distributive property again to split 19 into 10 + 9 but that is multiplying by 19 is simple enough and using the distributive property for that is just laziness.
No.
Yes, but it would be a pointless thing to do. The associative property is much more appropriate.
The distributive property refers to a property of TWO binary operations - usually of multiplication and addition - not just one operation. Consequently, 7*420 does not have a distributive property.
The distributive property of multiplication over addition allows you to partition a multiplication problem into simpler chunks: For example: 4*57 = 4*(50+7) = 4*50 + 4*7 that last step used the distributive property = 200 + 28 = 228
