To rewrite the expression $$ 5 \cdot 4 \frac{11}{12} $$ using the Distributive Property, we first need to convert the mixed number $$ 4 \frac{11}{12} $$ into an improper fraction.

1. Convert $$ 4 \frac{11}{12} $$ to an improper fraction:
   $$
   4 \frac{11}{12} = \frac{4 \cdot 12 + 11}{12} = \frac{48 + 11}{12} = \frac{59}{12}
   $$

2. Now, we can rewrite the expression:
   $$
   5 \cdot 4 \frac{11}{12} = 5 \cdot \frac{59}{12}
   $$

3. Using the Distributive Property, we can express this as:
   $$
   5 \cdot \frac{59}{12} = \frac{5 \cdot 59}{12}
   $$

4. Now, we calculate $$ 5 \cdot 59 $$:
   $$
   5 \cdot 59 = 295
   $$

5. Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as:
   $$
   \frac{295}{12}
   $$

Thus, the expression $$ 5 \cdot 4 \frac{11}{12} $$ rewritten using the Distributive Property is $$ \frac{295}{12} $$.
$$ 5 \cdot 4 \frac{11}{12} = \frac{295}{12} $$

Use the Distributive Property to rewrite the expression \( 5 \cdot 4 \frac{11}{12} \).
