Which equation applies the distributive property?

-1.5⋅ (6⋅1.25) = (-1.5⋅6) ⋅1.25-1.5⋅ (6⋅1.25) = (-1.5⋅6) ⋅1.25

70+2.028 = (70⋅2) + (70⋅0.02) + (70⋅0.008) 70+2.028 = (70⋅2) + (70⋅0.02) + (70⋅0.008)

(0.7⋅0.7) + (0.7⋅0.9) + (0.7⋅0.2) = 0.7⋅ (0.7+0.9+0.2) (0.7⋅0.7) + (0.7⋅0.9) + (0.7⋅0.2) = 0.7⋅ (0.7+0.9+0.2)

-2.5⋅0.6⋅5.8=-2.5⋅5.8⋅0.6

Yasmine Hodge · Answer 1

The distributive property dictates that:

a (b + c) = ab + ac

Thus,

(0.7 x 0.7) + (0.7 x 0.9) + (0.7 x 0.2)

= 0.7 (0.7 + 0.9 + 0.2)

follows the distributive property. The third option is correct.
