Marla did 65 sit-ups each day for one week. Use the distributive property to show an expression you can use to find the total number of sit-ups.

I hope this will be helpful.
65 ∗ 7 = 65 ∗ ( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 = 455 because she did 65 sit ups each day a week and the week has 7 days.

Using the distributive property, we represent the total sit-ups Marla did as 65 × 7 , which can be expanded to 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 . This results in a total of 455 sit-ups over the week.
