I don't. I learned the 18 times table at school - around 50 years ago - and still recall it.

no because distributive property is for multiple digit numbers.
None whatsoever. You might find the distributive property useful when trying to calculate 39*74. Of course, if you are familiar with the 39 times table or the 74 times table, the distributive property is a complete waste of time! But somehow I doubt that level of arithmetic competence.
You don't. The distributive property involves at least three numbers.
8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
You don't need to use the distributive property. 3*17 = 51 so 30*17 = 510 Why invoke procedures that are not necessary?
