Explore with a partner for 5-10 minutes Yesterday I bought 5 CDs at the music store. Each one cost $8. Today I bought 7 CDs at $8 each. How can I find the total cost of all CDs? 1. We can show the cost of yesterday's CDs by finding the product of 5 and $8. 2. We can show the cost of today's CDs by finding the product of 7 and $8. + 5 x $8 7 x $8 + $56 $40 $96
Now lets find the cost by first finding the total number of CDs then multiplying by the cost of one CD.
Nina was finding multiples of 6. • She said, 18 and 42 are both multiples of 6, and when I add them, I also get a multiple of 6: 18+42 = 60. • Explain to Nina why adding two multiples of 6 will always result in another multiple of 6.
Solution: Using Pictures **18 and 42 are both multiples of 6 which means 6 is a factor of both numbers. 6⋅3=18 6⋅7=42
When you add 18 and 42, you can use the distributive property to show that the sum is also a multiple of 6: 6⋅3+6⋅7=6⋅(3+7)=6⋅10
Solution: An Algebraic Explanation • If you have any two multiples of 6, you can write them both as 6 times a whole number. We can write this in symbols as 6a 6b (where a and b are both whole numbers). • When you add them, you have 6a + 6b = 6(a + b) • Since a and b are whole numbers, so is a + b. So the sum of two multiples of 6 is always a multiple of 6. **Please note that there is nothing special about 6 in this argument, so it will work exactly the same way with any whole number in place of 6.
Find Sums Using the Distributive Property • 24 + 16 • 36 + 15 • 40 + 25 • 42 + 12 • 48 + 28 • 54 + 36
