It states that for any numbers aa, bb, and cc: a\u00d7(b+c)=a\u00d7b+a\u00d7ca \\times (b + c) = a \\times b + a \\times c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it is most often used for multiplication, it can also help with division, especially when dividing a sum by a number. The division version of the distributive property says: b+ca=ba+ca\\frac{b + c}{a} = \\frac{b}{a} + \\frac{c}{a}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that if you want to divide a number (which is the sum of two parts) by another number, you can split the dividend into two smaller parts, divide each separately, and then add the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, consider 144 \u00f7 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breaking 144 into two numbers that are easier to divide by 8 is key. We can split 144 as 80 + 64 because both 80 and 64 are divisible by 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Divide 80 by 8:<br>80\u00f78=1080 \u00f7 8 = 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divide 64 by 8:<br>64\u00f78=864 \u00f7 8 = 8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding these results:<br>10+8=1810 + 8 = 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, 144\u00f78=(80+64)\u00f78=80\u00f78+64\u00f78=10+8=18144 \u00f7 8 = (80 + 64) \u00f7 8 = 80 \u00f7 8 + 64 \u00f7 8 = 10 + 8 = 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is especially helpful when working with mental math, as it breaks a large division problem into smaller, easier calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, the distributive property helps simplify division by splitting the number into manageable chunks, dividing each, then adding the results to find the answer efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>144 divided by 8 in distributive property The correct answer and explanation is: Correct Answer: Using the distributive property,144 \u00f7 8 can be rewritten as:(80 + 64) \u00f7 8 = (80 \u00f7 8) + (64 \u00f7 8) = 10 + 8 = 18 Explanation (300 words): The distributive property in arithmetic is a useful tool [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-quiz-questions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23178"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23179,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23178\/revisions\/23179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
