## Envision Math 6th Grade Textbook Answer Key Topic 2.4 The Distributive Property

The Distributive Property

How can you use the Distributive Property to evaluate expressions?
The Distributive Property states that multiplying a sum (or difference) by a number gives the same result as multiplying each number in the sum
(or difference) by the number and adding (or subtracting) the products.

Guided Practice

Do you know HOW?
In 1 through 4, find each missing number.
Question 1.
8(7 + 23) = 8(7) + 8(☐)
23
Explanation:

Question 2.
4(28) = 4(20) + 4 (☐)
8
Explanation:

Question 3.
8(57) – 8(7) = 8(☐)
50
Explanation:

Question 4.
5(26 – 3) = 5 (☐) – 5(3)
26
Explanation:

Use mental math to evaluate 5 and 6.
Question 5.
6(32) = ☐
192
Explanation:

Question 6.
20(5) – 20(2) = ☐
60
Explanation:

Do you UNDERSTAND?
Question 7.

Leveled Practice In 9 through 16, find each missing number.
Question 9.
3(28) + (3)2 = ☐ (30)
3
Explanation:

Question 10.
9(23) = 9(☐) + 9(3)
20
Explanation:

Question 11.
6(46) – 6(6) = 6(☐)
40
Explanation:

Question 12.
4(33) = 4(30) + 4(☐)
3
Explanation:

Question 13.
30(22 – 10) = 30(22) – 30(☐)
10
Explanation:

Question 14.
8(99) = 8(100) – 8(☐)
1
Explanation:

Question 15.
20(33 – 5) = 20(☐)
28
Explanation:

= 20(☐) + 20(8)
20
Explanation:

Question 16.
5(42) + 5(5) = 5(☐)
47
Explanation:

= 5(☐) + 5(7)
40
Explanation:

Use the Distributive Property to break apart a number to find the product for 5 × 27.
5 × 27 ← Break 27 apart.

5(20) +5 (7) ← Multiply each addend.
135
5 × 27 = 135

Use the Distributive Property to join numbers together to find 8(32) – 8(2).
8(32) – 8(2)
8(32 — 2) ← Join factors.
8(30) ← Subtract.
240 ← Multiply.
8(32) – 8(2) = 240

Independent Practice

Use the Distributive Property and mental math to evaluate.
Tips: When doing mental math, choose to join or break apart based on which is easier.

Question 26.
Using the Big Group Menu, write and solve a problem where you can use the Distributive Property.
See margin.

Question 27.
Writing to Explain Jamal said that 9.45 is greater than 9.8 because 45 is greater than 8. Is he correct? Explain.
No; sample answer: 0.8 = 0.80 and 80 > 45.
