Question

FIND THE PRODUCT 12×35 using distributive

Answer 1

The distributive multiplication follows the below format:

a x (b + c) = ( a x b ) + ( a x c )

we have to do as below:

12 x (30 + 5)

or, (12 x 30) + (12 x 5)

or, 30 x (10 + 2) + 5 x (10 + 2)

or,30 x 10 + 30 x 2 + 5 x 10 + 5 x 2

or, 300 + 60 + 50 + 10 = 420 (Ans)
