Question

$\text{Solve}24\times 102\text{using distributive law.}$

• A. -2238
• B. -2458
• C. -2448
• D. -2508

Answer 1

The correct option is C -2448

Distributive property of multiplication over addition states that
$a\times (b+c)=(a\times b)+(a\times c)$

So, $-24\times 102=-24\times (100+2)$
$=(-24\times 100)+(-24\times 2)$
$=-2400+(-48)$
$=-2448$
