What is the distributive property of 188 divided by 4?

Answer 1

47

Answer 2

188/4 does not have a distributive property. You can use the distributive property in several ways to do the calculation:

188/4 = (200-12)/4 which, applying the distributive property = 200/4 - 12/4

or

188/4 = (100+88)/4 which, applying the distributive property = 100/4 + 88/4

or

188/4 = (160+28)/4 which, applying the distributive property = 160/4 + 28/4

and so on.

Which one of these you use depends on your familiarity with the four times table.
