Distributive Property The Distributive Property of multiplication is the property that states that multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products. The Distributive Property says that if a, b and c are real numbers, then a(b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c)
Addend • An Addend is a number that is added to another number. • 2 + 3 = 5
Real Numbers • Real Numbers are all irrational and rational numbers. Real numbers are the Umbrella that other numbers fall inside of.
Irrational Numbers • Any real number that is not a rational number and not an imaginary number. An example of an irrational number is the square root of 2 because it cannot be written as a ratio of two integers. Pi is also an irrational number.
Rational Numbers • Rational Numbers are numbers that can be written as a ratio of two integers. A fraction containing a numerator and denominator that are integers. Every integer is a rational number. It comes from the word ratio.
Examples of Distributive property 36 + 8 = 44 Step 1 4 (9 + 2) = Step 2 (4 x 9) + (4 x 2) = Answer 36 + 8 = 44
Practice • 7 (8 + 3) 2) 3 ( 6 + 9) Are these equal? 3) 55 + 10 = 11 (5 + 0) = 4) 27 + 3 = 9 (3 + 1) =
