The Distributive Property also combines subtraction and multiplication. for example, . 3 * ( 5 - 2 ) = ( 3 * 5 ) - ( 3 * 2 ).

Apply the distributive property to solve for (5 * 198).

Respuesta :

So the problem ask to find or solve the problem using distributive property, so to calculate if using distributive property is just the same calculation if you are multiplying two number using a paper so the answer is 5(8)+5(90)+5(100), 40+ 450+500 = 990. I hope you understand my answer 

For this case we have the following product:

[tex] 5 * 198 [/tex]

Rewriting the product of the numbers we have:

 [tex] 5 * 198 = 5 * (100 + 90 + 8) [/tex]

Then, applying the distributive property we have:

[tex] 5 * 198 = 5 * 100 + 5 * 90 + 5 * 8 [/tex]

[tex] 5 * 198 = 500 + 450 + 40 [/tex]

[tex] 5 * 198 = 990 [/tex]

Answer:

The product of the numbers applying the distributive property is equal to 990.
