Answer and explanation:
Use the distributive property in two different ways to find the product of 127 and 32.
Distributive property says that,
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
We have to find product of 127 and 32,
1) Split 127 as 100+27
[tex]127\times32=(100+27)\times 32[/tex]
Apply distributive property,
[tex]127\times32=100\times 32+27\times 32[/tex]
[tex]127\times32=3200+864[/tex]
[tex]127\times32=4064[/tex]
2) Split 32 as 30+2
[tex]127\times32=127\times (30+2)[/tex]
Apply distributive property,
[tex]127\times32=127\times 30+127\times 2[/tex]
[tex]127\times32=3810+254[/tex]
[tex]127\times32=4064[/tex]
