Question

A. Write 60 as the sum of two numbers.

B. Write 60 as the product of two numbers.

C. Write 60 as the product of two factors. In youe expression, write one of the factors as a sum of two numbers. Find an equivalent way to write this expression.

Answer 1

Why don't you try these problems -- and we'll check your work?

Answer 2

A. You basically add two numbers together to get 60. So it's basically __ + __ = 60, and you can put in any two numbers that equal 60 when added.
B. It's almost the same as what I said for the first problem, except it's __ x __ = 60, so you find two numbers that equal 60 when multiplied.
C. For this problem, you take the two numbers you got for problem B, so do __ x __ = 60, but use the method you got for problem A also on one of the factors, so (__ + __) x __ = 60.

When you're done, you should check your work by plugging it into a calculator and see if it equals 60.

Answer 3

So would A be something like 56+4? And B would be 10x6. I believe C would be something like (5+5) x 6 = 60.
Am I correct?

Answer 4

C would be 6(5+5) because of you put "(" by a lonely number it means x

Answer 5

60
