Question

Nina was finding multiples of 6. She said,

Answer 1

Answer:

18 and 42 are both multiples of 6, and when I add them, I also get a multiple of 6:

18+42=60.

Explain to Nina why adding two multiples of 6 will always result in another multiple of 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 and 42 are both multiples of 6 which means 6 is a factor of both numbers.

6⋅3=18

6⋅7=42

When you add 18 and 42, you can use the distributive property to show that the sum is also a multiple of 6:

6⋅3+6⋅7=6⋅(3+7)=6⋅10
