Question

Sydney applied the steps below to find the product of (3.1)(–1.6). Step 1: (3.1)(–1.6) = (–1.6)(3.1) Step 2: = _______________ Step 3: = (–4.8) + (–0.16) Step 4: = –4.96 Which expression correctly fills in the blank in Step 2?​

Answer 1

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

$\sf\red{ Product \: of \: (3.1) ( -1.6)}$

★Step 1 :

$\sf\pink{ (3.1)(-1.6) = (-1.6)(3.1)}$

★Step 2:

$\sf\green { (-1.6)( 3 + 0.1)}$

$\sf\green{= (-1.6)\times 3 + (-1.6)\times 0.1}$

$\sf \blue{ ( By \: Distributive \: Property ) }$

★Step 3:

$\sf = (-4.8) + ( - 0.16 )$

★Step 4:

$\sf = - 4.96$

Therefore.,

$\sf \red{ Required \: Step \: 2 : }$

$\sf\purple{ (-1.6)( 3 + 0.1) }$

$\sf\purple{= (-1.6)\times 3 + (-1.6)\times 0.1}$
