Answer: Distributive property


Step-by-step explanation:

Since [tex]47=40+7[/tex]

Thus, the product [tex]3\times47[/tex] is equivalent to

[tex]3\times(40+7)[/tex]

The distributive property says that multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

Thus, by this property above product can be written as:

[tex]3\times40+3\times7\\[/tex]

Hence, Juanita used distributive property to rewrite the expression.
