Answer: 7 (4 + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both number are divisible by 7, so we divide them both by 7.

28/7 = 4 and 42/7 =6 . The answer is written as 7 (4 + 6)

Answer:

To express the sum of two numbers using distributive property, we factor out the highest common factor (HCF) of the two numbers (i.e. the greatest number that can divide the two numbers without remainder)

28 = 2 x 2 x 7

42 = 2 x 3 x 7

The HCF of 28 and 42 is given by 2 x 7 = 14

Therefore, we express 28 + 42 using distributive property thus: 14(2 + 3)

One liter of paint covers 100 square feet. How many gallons of paint does it take to cover a room whose walls have an area of 80

mezya [45]

1 gallon is 3.78 L
100 sq feet needs 1 L
800 sq feet needs x

100/800 = 1/x
100x = 800
x = 800/100
x = 8 L

If you use the fact that 4 L = 1 gallon then you need 2 gallons of paint. I you use the more accurate 3.78 L then
1 gallon = 3.78 L
x gallon = 8 L

3.78 x = 8*1
x = 8/3.78
x = 2.12 gallons.

I guess you could say that 1 gallon and 1 L would do you.
