Your Math class has 32 students. You would like to treat the class to cookies. You would like each person to have 5 cookies. Which expression would be a quick way to figure out how many cookies you would need to bake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5(32 + 2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why the +2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is asking me to find the distributive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I don't see where +2 is falling into that anywhere. All I see is 32 students times x cookies 32x, where x=5 or 32*5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a solve scenario question those are the choices 5(32 + 2) 5(30 + 2) 5(32 − 2) 5(30 − 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, now it makes sense with the choices. So I'm still right, it's just expanded. You want to find the solution that equals 5*32. So since the 5 is given in each of your choices, which of the choices equals 32 otherwise?
