Other ways to use the Distributive Property:

An example of another way you can do this property is like this:

89*2=2(80+9)

 You would break it down like so:

89*2=178
(80+9)=89

-then, again

89*2=178

Another Example:

60*3=3(60+0)

You would break it down like so:

60*3=180
(60+0)=60

-then, again

60*3=180
