Evaluate each expression by (1) using the Distributive Property and (2) evaluating inside the parentheses first. a. 2(3.22−0.12)=

b. 12(12+23)=

Question 2
Is the method that makes the evaluation process easier the same for both expressions? Explain why one method is better to use than the other.

The method that makes the evaluation process easier when evaluating the two expressions
the same for both expressions.

For part (a),
makes for easier and fewer calculations. For part (b),
will eliminate the fractions.
