Step by step solution

01

Step 1  . What are real numbers? 

Real numbers are simply the combination of Whole numbers, Integers, Rational and Irrational numbers in the number system.

02

Step 2  . Distributive Property of Multiplication 

Suppose a, b, and c is three real numbers.

Distributive Property of Multiplication

Property:a â¶Ä‰(b â¶Ä‰+ â¶Ä‰c â¶Ä‰) â¶Ä‰= â¶Ä‰a â¶Ä‰Â·â€‰â¶Ä‰b â¶Ä‰+ â¶Ä‰a â¶Ä‰Â·â€‰â¶Ä‰c â¶Ä‰

Example: 12 â¶Ä‰(3 â¶Ä‰+ â¶Ä‰4 â¶Ä‰) â¶Ä‰= â¶Ä‰12 â¶Ä‰Â·â€‰â¶Ä‰3 â¶Ä‰+ â¶Ä‰12 â¶Ä‰Â·â€‰â¶Ä‰4 â¶Ä‰= â¶Ä‰36 â¶Ä‰+ â¶Ä‰48 â¶Ä‰= â¶Ä‰84

.:  Evaluate the expression using the distributive property and mental math.       

We can write 8.95 as 8.90 + 0.05, to evaluate the expression 2(8.95), we can use the distributive method of multiplication.
