The Distributive Property: Find the product mentally. Show the steps you used. 8*34
I know that 8*34=272 but how you do it with Distributive Property?
Thanks!
8 * (30 + 4) = 240 + 32 = 272
Thanks Scott!

Find each product mentally show the steps you used
To use the distributive property to find the product of 8 and 34, you can break up one of the numbers into its place value parts and then distribute the other number to each part separately. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Break up 34 into its place value parts:
34 can be written as 30 + 4.
Step 2: Distribute 8 to each part:
8 * 30 = 240
8 * 4 = 32
Step 3: Add the products:
240 + 32 = 272
Therefore, using the distributive property, you find that 8 * 34 = 272.
