Question

Explain how you could use the distributive property to find the product of 4+298?

Answer 1

2(2+149)=2(151)=302

Answer 2

You should use the word "and" , not + sign to denote the product of 4 and 298.  4+298 looks like a sum

whose value is 302, not a product.

However I think you need to find the product

as your question says, using distributive law.

This is done by noting

4(298)  =  4(300)  -  4(2) = 1200-8 = 1192

and then you  are done!
