Question

135÷5, draw two different ways to break apart the array . use the distributive property to write products for each different way.?

Answer 1

1 way is (100 divide by 5) +(35 divide by 5)
2 way is (50 divide by 5) + (85 divide by 5)

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

Given : Expression $135\div 5$

To find : Draw two different ways to break apart the array. Use the distributive property to write products for each different way ?

Solution :

Distributive property, $(a*b)*c=(a*c)*(b*c)$

Where, * is the symbol of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

To draw two different ways to break apart the array are

1) Break 135 as 100+35

So, $135\div 5=(100+35)\div 5$

$135\div 5=100\div 5+35\div 5$

$135\div 5=20+7$

$135\div 5=27$

2) Break 135 as 120+15

So, $135\div 5=(120+15)\div 5$

$135\div 5=120\div 5+15\div 5$

$135\div 5=24+3$

$135\div 5=27$
