Montanna needed to multiply 5 x 27.  If they remembered that 27 = 20 + 7, 5 x 20 = 100, 5 x 7 = 35 and they used those facts to solve the problem, what property(ies) of multiplication did they use?

                         

  5 x 27 = 5 x (20 + 7) =  (5 x 20) + (5 x 7) = 100 + 35 = 135

(i)    commutative                     

(ii)   associative          

(iii)  distributive
