Write 16 + 32 as a product of two factors using the GCF 12 and the distributive property

Answer 1

16 + 32 = 48

48 can be factored as 12 * 4 using the GCF 12

Therefore, 16 + 32 = 12 * 4

Answer 2

can you do it in addition pls cause the numbers are 1 digit

Answer 3

Sure! Here is the solution using addition:

16 + 32 = (12 + 4) + (12 + 20)
= 12 + 12 + 4 + 20
= 24 + 24
= 48

Therefore, 16 + 32 = 48.

Answer 4

the adding numbers are only 1 digit

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. Let's use the distributive property to write 16 + 32 as a product of two factors using the GCF 12.

16 + 32 = 4*4 + 4*8
= 4(4 + 8)
= 4*12

Therefore, 16 + 32 = 4 * 12.
