Use commutative, associative, and distributive structure to rewrite and simplify numerical expressions efficiently.

Use a common factor in context

Problem

For a field day, the school sets out \(12~\text{water}~\text{bottles}\) for each of \(4~\text{relay}~\text{teams}\), \(12~\text{water}~\text{bottles}\) for each of \(6~\text{game}~\text{stations}\), and \(12~\text{water}~\text{bottles}\) for each of \(2~\text{first}\text{-}\text{aid}~\text{tables}\). Which complete response correctly represents the total number of water bottles?

12(4 + 6 + 2) = 144 water bottles

12 × 4 × 6 × 2 = 576 water bottles

12 × 4 + 6 + 2 = 56 water bottles

12(4 + 6) = 120 water bottles
