Question

Which correctly shows how to use the GCF and the distributive property to find an expression equivalent to 8 + 48?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C :8(1+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an expression 8+48

We have to find that which option correctly shows how to use the GCF and distributive property to find the an expression equivalent to 8+48

We are given that 8+48=56

Factor of 8

$8=2\times 2\times 2$

Factor of 48

$48=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

GCF=$2\times 2\times 2=8$

Distributive property

$a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdotb+a\cdot c$

$8+48=8(1+6)$

Hence, option C is true.

Answer 2

It has to be the third option 8(1+6) because 8+48= 56 and 8(1+6)= 56
