Question

Multiplication is distributive over addition for whole numbers.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Check whether the given statement is true or false:

Distributive property of multiplication over addition-

$a\times (b+c)=(a\times b)+(a\times c)$

Let $a=3,b=4,c=5$

Let verify the above property using the above values -

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 3\times (4+5)=\left(3\times 4\right)+\left(3\times 5\right) \\ \Rightarrow 3\times 9=12+15 \\ \Rightarrow 27=27 \end{gathered}$$

Since, LHS is equal to RHS.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
