Example: 5* (4 + 6) = 5*4 + 5*6 is an example of _______ property?
Answer: distributive
Directions: Identify the property in each of the following questions. Also write 5 examples of distributive property.
Q 1: When a sum is multiplied by a number we can multiply each addend by the number and then add the products. This property is called
Distributive Property
Commutative Property
Associative Property

Q 2: Addends can be grouped in any way without changing the sum. This property is called
the Distributive Property of Addition
the Associative Property of Addition
the Commutative Property of Addition

Q 3: Identify the multiplicative property shown by this example: 9 x 20 = 20 x 9
Property of Zero
Property of One
Commutative Property
Associative Property

Q 4: Identify the additive property shown by this example: 3 + 9 = 9 + 3
Commutative Property
Property of Zero
Property of One
Associative Property

Q 5: An example of Commutative Property is:
5 + 3 = 3 + 5
2 * (5 + 3) = 2 * 5 + 2 * 3
2 + 0 = 2

Q 6: An example of Distributive Property of Multiplication is
12 + (8 + 9) = (12 + 8) + 9
12 x (6 + 5) = (12 x 6) + (12 x 5)
(2+ 6) + 3 = 2 + (6 + 3)

Q 7: Identify the property shown by this example: 12 + (8 + 9) = (12 + 8) + 9
Property of Zero
Property of One
Commutative Property
Associative Property

Q 8: An example of Associative Property is:
(2+ 6) + 3 = 2 + (6 + 3) = 11
2 + 6 = 8 and 6 + 2 = 8
2 + 0 = 2
