Answer:
49 + 28 = 7(7 + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
49 bags of soil one week
28 bags of soil the next week
49 + 28 bags of soil purchased in total
Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 49 and 28.
49/7 = 7
28/7 = 4 (GCF is 7 since it is the largest number that can divide both 49 and 28 equally)
Factor out the GCF + rewrite division above (optional for visualization)
49/7 = 7 -> 49 = 7 * 7
28/7 = 4 -> 28 = 7 * 4
49 + 28 = 7(7 + 4)
