Question

rashawn solved \\(4 \times 2 \times 5\\) using the equations below.

\\4 \times 2 \times 5 = 4 \times (2 \times 5)\\
\\= 4 \times 10\\
\\= 40\\

use the equations below to solve \\(4 \times 2 \times 5\\) in a different way.

\\4 \times 2 \times 5 = (4 \times \box) \times 5\\
\\= \box \times 5\\
\\= 40\\

Explanation:

Group the first two factors

$$ 4 \times 2 \times 5 = (4 \times 2) \times 5 $$

Multiply inside the parentheses

$$ (4 \times 2) \times 5 = 8 \times 5 $$

Find the final product

$$ 8 \times 5 = 40 $$

Answer:

Use the equations below to solve \(4 \times 2 \times 5\) in a different way.
