Question

lets use the associative property to help us solve \\(28 \times 2\\).

complete the equations by breaking 28 into two smaller factors.

\\(28 \times 2 = \text{select factors of 28} \times 2\\)

\\(28 \times 2 = 7 \times \square\\)

\\(28 \times 2 = \square\\)

Explanation:

Factor the number 28

Using the Factoring Numbers knowledge point

$$ 28 = 7 \times 4 $$

Apply the associative property

Using the Associative Property knowledge point

$$

$$

Simplify the grouped factors

Using the Basic Multiplication knowledge point

$$ 4 \times 2 = 8 $$

$$ 28 \times 2 = 7 \times 8 $$

Calculate the final product

Using the Basic Multiplication knowledge point

$$ 7 \times 8 = 56 $$

Answer:

Let's use the associative property to help us solve \(28 \times 2\).

Complete the equations by breaking 28 into two smaller factors.

\(28 \times 2 =\) <blank>\((7 \times 4)\)</blank> \(\times 2\)
\(28 \times 2 = 7 \times\) <blank>\(8\)</blank>
\(28 \times 2 =\) <blank>\(56\)</blank>
