Properties of Numbers

You can use the Distributive Property to multiply numbers mentally by breaking apart one of the numbers and writing it as a sum or difference.

Additional Example 3: Using the Distributive Property to Multiply Mentally

Use the Distributive Property to find 6(54).

Method 1:

Method 2:

= (6 50) + (6 4)

Rewrite 54 as 50 + 4.

= 300 + 24

= 324

Use the Distributive Property.

Multiply.

6(54) = 6(60 – 6) Rewrite 54 as 60 – 6.

= (6 60) – (6 6)

= 360 - 36

Use the Distributive Property. Multiply.

= 324 Subtract.

Add.

6(54) = 6(50 + 4)

Check It Out: Example 3

Use the Distributive Property to find 8(19).

Method 1:

Method 2:

= (8 10) + (8 9)

Rewrite 19 as 10 + 9.

= 80 + 72

= 152

Use the Distributive Property.

Multiply.

8(19) = 8(20 – 1) Rewrite 19 as 20 – 1.

= (8 20) – (8 1)

= 160 – 8

Use the Distributive Property. Multiply.

= 152 Subtract.

Add.

8(19) = 8(10 + 9)
