Here is a photo of what I chose as my equivalent numbers (Red represents my work, blue represents which step comes next, and highlighter shows what the answer is). My reasoning that 1/2 and 5/10 are equivalent is because 5/10 divided by 5/5 is 1/2.
<u>Answer:</u>
- Hence, 11 x 2 x 2 is the product of prime factors.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>Let's divide by 2's.</u>
- => 44 = 22 x 2
- => 22 x 2 = 11 x 2 x 2
<em>Since 11 is a prime number, we cannot simplify it anymore. Hence, 11 x 2 x 2 is the product of prime factors.</em>
