Question

Who is correct?

• A. Martha
• B. Roger
• C. Both of them are correct.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Martha

Distributive property of multiplication
$\text{states:}a\times (b+c)=a\times b+a\times c$

The given expression is:
$10\times (40+2)=10\times 40+10\times 2$

Taking a = 10, b = 40, and c = 2, we see:


So, the expression follows the distributive property of multiplication.

∴ Martha is correct.
