Answer 1

To determine which number is divisible by both 3 and 9, we can check the divisibility of each option:

• 52:

  • Sum of digits = 5 + 2 = 7 (not divisible by 3)

• 48:

  • Sum of digits = 4 + 8 = 12 (divisible by 3)
  • 48 ÷ 9 = 5.33 (not divisible by 9)

• 27:

  • Sum of digits = 2 + 7 = 9 (divisible by 3)
  • 27 ÷ 9 = 3 (divisible by 9)

• 39:

  • Sum of digits = 3 + 9 = 12 (divisible by 3)
  • 39 ÷ 9 = 4.33 (not divisible by 9)

The only number that is divisible by both 3 and 9 is 27.
