saac applied the steps below to find the product of (4.2)(–5.4).


Step 1: (4.2)(–5.4) = (–5.4)(4.2)

Step 2: = (–5.4)(4) + (–5.4)(0.2)

Step 3: = (–21.6) + (–1.08)

Step 4: = –22.68


Which step shows where Isaac applied the distributive property?

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Verified Answer :

Step 2: = (–5.4)(4) + (–5.4)(0.2) this step is applied the distributive property

hope it helps

Answer: Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is given by :-

(a+b)c=ac+bc, where a,b and c are any number.

The given expression : \((4.2)(-5.4)\)

The above expression can be written as :

\((4+0.2)(-5.4)\)

When we apply distributive property to the given expression, we get

\((4)(-5.4)+(0.2)(-5.4)\\\\=(-5.4)(4)+(-5.4)(0.2)\)

Hence, Step 2 shows the distributive property applied by Isaac.
