Yes. This is called the distributive property. For example:

a(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n) = 1a + 2a + 3a ... + na

How is multiplying fractions by a whole number is different from adding adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators?

Adding and subtracting fractions can ONLY be done if the denominators are the same; then the calculation is done by adding or subtracting the numerators. Multiplying (and dividing) fractions does not require the denominators to be the same. To divide by a fraction the divisor is inverted (the original numerator becomes the new denominator and the original denominator becomes the new numerator) and then the fractions are multiplied. Multiplying fractions is achieved by multiplying the numerators together AND multiplying the denominators together. A whole number is the same as a fraction with the whole number as the numerator and a denominator of 1, so when multiplying by a whole number the denominator is multiplied by 1 (leaving it the same) and the is multiplication is effectively just multiplying the numerator by the whole number.

What states that multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products?

The property that states multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products is called the Distributive Property. It can be expressed mathematically as ( a(b + c) = ab + ac ), where ( a ) is the number being multiplied, and ( b ) and ( c ) are the addends. This property is fundamental in algebra and is used to simplify expressions and solve equations.
