Write 16 + 32 as a product of two factors using the GCF 12 and the distributive property
16 + 32 = 48
48 can be factored as 12 * 4 using the GCF 12
Therefore, 16 + 32 = 12 * 4
can you do it in addition pls cause the numbers are 1 digit
Sure! Here is the solution using addition:
16 + 32 = (12 + 4) + (12 + 20)
= 12 + 12 + 4 + 20
= 24 + 24
= 48
Therefore, 16 + 32 = 48.
the adding numbers are only 1 digit
Apologies for the confusion. Let's use the distributive property to write 16 + 32 as a product of two factors using the GCF 12.
16 + 32 = 4*4 + 4*8
= 4(4 + 8)
= 4*12
Therefore, 16 + 32 = 4 * 12.
