Question

Mr. Rijo bought 49 bags of soil one week and 28 bags of soil the next week. Which expression correctly applies the

Answer 1

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)
