56 * (28/5) shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7 times 8 and four-fifths.
7 times 8 = 56
4/5 = 28/5
Using the distributive property:
7 * 8 * (4/5) = (7 * 8) * (4/5) = 56 * (4/5) = 56 * (28/5) = 56 startfraction 28 over 5 endfraction
The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c. To evaluate 7 times 8 and four-fifths, we can use the distributive property to separate the two factors. First, we calculate 7 times 8, which is equal to 56. Then, we calculate four-fifths, which is equal to 28/5. We then use the distributive property to multiply the two factors together, which is (7 * 8) * (4/5). This simplifies to 56 * (4/5) which is equal to 56 startfraction 28 over 5 endfraction.
