write an expression using the distributive property that can be used to find the quotient 56÷4.
Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :
This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.
In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.
Let us tackle the problem!
This problem is about DIstributive Property.
\(( a + b ) \times c = ( a \times c ) + ( b \times c )\)
\(( a + b ) \div c = ( a \div c ) + ( b \div c )\)
Given :
56 ÷ 4 = ?
\(56 \div 4 = ( 40 + 16 ) \div 4\)
\(56 \div 4 = ( 40 \div 4 ) + ( 16 \div 4 )\)
\(56 \div 4 = ( 10 ) + ( 4 )\)
\(56 \div 4 = \boxed {14}\)
