3/8 + 5/7 = 21/56 + 40/56 = 61/56 = 1.08928571428571
It is usually applied in arithmetic to simplify multiplication. For example, find the value of 9*46. Now, my knowledge of the 9 times table does not extend to 46 nines and I certainly do not know the 46 times table but, using the distributive property: 9 * 46 = 9*(40 + 6) = 9*40 + 9*6 [That's the step where the distributive property was used] and, now its easy. I know 9*4 = 36 so 9*40 = 360 and 9*6 = 56 Thus 9 * 46 = 360 + 56 = 416.
5/21 + 1/7 = 56/147 or 8/21
25/8 + 63/7 = 21/8 + 45/7 = 147/56 + 360/56 = 507/56 = 93/56
3 2/7 + 6 3/8 = 3 16/56 + 6 21/56 = 9 37/56
56 64 are two positive integers. They do not illustrate the distributive property.

12*56 Use the distributive property on 12: (10+2)*56 = 10*56 + 2*56 Use the distributive property on 56 twice: 10*(50+6) + 2*(50+6) = 10*50 + 10*6 + 2*50 + 2*6 = 500 + 60 + 100 + 12 = 672
8*37 = 8*(30+7) = 8*30 + 8*7 [that is using the distributive property] = 240 + 56 = 296
Well, honey, the distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum, you can multiply each addend by that number separately and then add the products. So, in this case, you would multiply 12 by 56 and get 672. But hey, who's counting?
The distributive property of multiplication over addition is x*(y + z) = x*y + x*zIt is used in multiplication through chunking.For example, to calculate 4*56, you can break up the 56 into 50+6.Then4*56 = 4*(50 + 6) = 4*50 + 4*6 = 200 + 24 = 224.
7 x 70 + 7 x 8 = 490 = 56 = 546 7 x 78 = 546
