Question

lets use the associative property to help us solve \\(14 \times 5\\).

complete the equations by breaking \\(14\\) into two smaller factors.

\\(14 \times 5 = \text{select factors of 14} \times 5\\)
\\(14 \times 5 = \box \times 10\\)
\\(14 \times 5 = \box\\)

Explanation:

Factor the number 14

Using the Factoring Numbers knowledge point

$$ 14 = 7 \times 2 $$

Apply the associative property

Using the Associative Property knowledge point

$$ 14 \times 5 = (7 \times 2) \times 5 = 7 \times (2 \times 5) $$

Simplify the grouped product

Using the Basic Multiplication knowledge point

$$ 7 \times (2 \times 5) = 7 \times 10 $$

Calculate the final product

Using the Basic Multiplication knowledge point

$$ 7 \times 10 = 70 $$

Answer:

Let's use the associative property to help us solve \(14 \times 5\).

Complete the equations by breaking 14 into two smaller factors.

\(14 \times 5 =\) <blank>\((7 \times 2)\)</blank> \(\times 5\)
\(14 \times 5 =\) <blank>\(7\)</blank> \(\times 10\)
\(14 \times 5 =\) <blank>\(70\)</blank>
