To determine

To evaluate : The value of the expression of $9\left(104\right)$ using the distributive property.

Answer to Problem 26CUR

Therefore, the value of the expression $9\left(104\right)$ is $936$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information : Using distributive property evaluate $9\left(104\right)$

Concept used : A multiplication fact can be broken up into the sum of two other multiplication facts like, $a\left(b+c\right)=\left(a\times b\right)+\left(a\times c\right)$ .

Calculation :

  $\begin{array}{l}9\left(104\right)\\ =9\left(100+4\right)\\ =\left(9\times 100\right)+\left(9\times 4\right)\\ =900+36\\ =936\end{array}$

Thus, the value of the expression $9\left(104\right)$ is $936$ .
