We want to use the distributive property to rewrite $2\cdot19$2·19 as easier multiplications.
a
This diagram shows how $2$2 groups of $19$19 objects can be split up.
Use the diagram to fill in the blank to make the statement true.
$2\cdot19=2\cdot\left(10+\editable{}\right)$2·19=2·(10+)
b
Fill in the blanks to show how $2$2 groups of $\left(10+9\right)$(10+9) can be split up into smaller multiplications.
$2\cdot\left(10+9\right)=2\cdot10+2\cdot\editable{}$2·(10+9)=2·10+2·
