Question

Identify which distributive property problem below would help you solve the following scenario:
Your English class has 34 students. You would like to treat the class to cookies. You would like each person to have 3 cookies. Which expression would help you figure out how many cookies you would need to bake?

3(34 + 3)

3(20 − 4)

3(34 − 3)

3(30 + 4)

Answer 1

If you multiply 34*3 it tells you there should be 102 cookies made.
So when you distribute it should equal the same 102.
How many cookies would the each give you?
3(34) + 3(3) =?
3(20) -(3)(4) =?
3(34) -3(3)=?
3(30) +3(4)=?

Answer 2

D

Answer 3
