Explain how to use the distributive property to solve 48*3 include a model to support your explanation
40 plus 8 is 48 then times 3 is 144. You just have to separate the different values of the number
The distributive property states when any expression containing three numbers A, B, and C, expressed in form \(\bold{A (B + C)}\), is resolved as \(\bold{A (B + C) = AB + AC}\), and the calculation can be defined as follows:
Given:
\(\bold{48\times 3}\)
To find:
Solve by distributive property
Solution:
\(\to \bold{48\times 3=(40+8) \times 3}\\\\\)
Solve L.H.S part:
\(\to \bold{48 \times 3= 144}\\\\\)
Solve L.H.S part:
\(\to \bold{(40+8) \times 3}\\\\\to \bold{40\times 3 +8\times 3 }\\\\\to \bold{120 + 24 }\\\\\to \bold{144}\\\\\)
Therefore, the final answer is "L.H.S= R.H.S".
