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

Wow what a weird question, why in the world would you use the distributive property for something like this?
So 34 students, 3 cookies each.
3(34)

Of the options you are given, is there one that looks equivalent to 3(34), but written a little differently?

Answer 2

3(30 + 4)?

Answer 3

(20-4)=(16)

Answer 4

? So it would be 3(20 - 4)?

Answer 5

correct

Answer 6

Thanks!

Can you help me with this one too?

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below:
one over four (g − 12)

one over four (g − 3)
one over four (g − 12)
one over four (g − 4)
one over four (g + 3)
