Im stumpped on this quetion too
give an example of distributive property that could be used in real world problems
ererrererer
its been 2 years-
dats what we did
maybe its a little late but here's a start 18(3+14) x 6(21+4)
im bad at math
a situation in which the distributive property could be used is the perimeter of a rectangle. 2(length + width) = 2length + 2width
example- suppose the length of the rectangle is 10 cm and width is 4 cm

With distributive
2(10) + 2(4) = 20+8 =28cm

Without
(10+4) = 2(14) =28cm
thanks so much!
thanks needed help bad!
omg thank you i hope goods things come to you in life!
