Tasha believes that she can rewrite the difference 60 − 36 as a product of the GCF of the two numbers and another difference. Is she correct? Complete the explanation.
She
(select)
correct.
The GCF of 60 and 36 is
.
So 60 − 36 can be written as
× 5 −
3
×
, which is
× (5 −
) or
×
=
.
why all those newlines? Just type your math the way you see it in books.
GCF(60,36) = 12
So, 60-36 = 12(5-3)
