 Distributive property of multiplication
Grade 5 Multiplication Worksheet

Example: 3 x 23 = (3 x 20) + (3 x 3) = 60 + 9 = 69

Rewrite the equations using the distributive property and find the answer.
1.
20 × 4 = (10 x 4) + (10 x 4) = 40 + 40 = 80

2.
20 × 26 = (20 x 20) + (20 x 6) = 400 + 120 = 520

3.
20 × 5 = (10 x 5) + (10 x 5) = 50 + 50 = 100

4.
8 × 22 = (8 x 20) + (8 x 2) = 160 + 16 = 176

5.
3 × 8 = (3 x 4) + (3 x 4) = 12 + 12 = 24

6.
7 × 27 = (7 x 20) + (7 x 7) = 140 + 49 = 189

7.
10 × 8 = (5 x 8) + (5 x 8) = 40 + 40 = 80

8.
10 × 9 = (10 x 5) + (10 x 4) = 50 + 40 = 90

9.
10 × 27 = (10 x 20) + (10 x 7) = 200 + 70 = 270

10.
10 × 4 = (10 x 2) + (10 x 2) = 20 + 20 = 40
