Question

Manuel created a factor tree and wrote the prime factorization of 60 shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel does the prime factorization as:

                                         60

                                           ^

                                       4     15

                                       ^

                                     3  5

He placed the arrow under wrong number as he placed the arrow under 4 and 4 is not the prime number and can be factorized as 2, 2.

Also, the arrow should be placed under 15 as 3 and 5 are the factors of 15. Thus, the factor tree should in the form:

                                                    60

                                                      ^

                                                  4      15

                                                           ^

                                                          3   5

Answer 2

"Manuel" here put the arrow in the wrong place. Should be under 15, not 4. PLUS, 4 is not prime, cuz 2 goes into it...
