What does distributive mean in math?

• To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something.
• According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

According to the question:

Let total taffees be x,

therefore of toffes he distriluwed among his school friends $=\frac{1}{2} x$

Remaining =$\frac{1}{2} \lambda$

Now, half of the remaining,

$\begin{aligned}&=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} x \\&=\frac{1}{4} x\end{aligned}$

therefore $\frac{1}{4}$x he distribrited in society.

$\begin{aligned} \text { Laft } &=x-\left(\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{4} x\right) \\ &=x-\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right) \\ &=\frac{4 x}{4}-\frac{3 x}{4} \\ &=\frac{x}{4} \\ \frac{x}{4} &=5 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} x &=5 \times 4 \\ &=20 \end{aligned}$

Hence, He was having total 20 toffees.
