Answer:
Joseph is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
I cannot see the options in the drop-down menus. Even though, Joseph is correct because the difference between the longest length (which is 12 ft) and shortest length (which is 9 1/2 ft) is 12 - 9 1/2 = 2 1/2 ft. It doesn't matter how many ropes measure those lengths.
To find the number of even factors, we can multiply the number of odd factors by the power of 2 (not the power of 2 + 1!!!). For 540, we have (3 + 1)(1 + 1)(2) = 16 even factors.
Distribute
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
2(2.5q+8)=2(2.5q)+2(8)=5q+16
1-5q+5q+16
1+0+16
