Which correctly shows how to use the GCF and the distributive property to find an expression equivalent to 45 + 72? A. 3 (15 + 24) B.9 (5 + 8 ) C. (5) (9) + (2) (36) D. (3) (15) + ( 8 ) (9)

P1n3appl31:

btw this is for @Mathmachine2021

supie:

Oh ok then lmk if he cant solve it

Mathmachine2021:

hi

P1n3appl31:

he couldn't post the question

supie:

Oh.. ok

P1n3appl31:

OR SHE

Mathmachine2021:

it wont let me post stuff

Mathmachine2021:

im a boy :D

P1n3appl31:

YAY! I GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

Mathmachine2021:

wha

supie:

You still need help? @Mathmachine2021

Mathmachine2021:

yes please

Mathmachine2021:

im stumped

supie:

Alright so basically we have to find the biggest number that can be divided evenly into 45 + 72

P1n3appl31:

cause its: Greatest Common Factor

supie:

\(\LARGE\frac{45}{?}+\frac{72}{?}\) Which is the same thing as \(42÷?\) \(72÷?\) Any idea now? @Mathmachine2021

P1n3appl31:

gcf

Mathmachine2021:

hmmmmmmm

supie:

Yes GCF = ``` >G-Greatest >Common >Multiple ``` Meaning that you have to find the biggest number that can be divided evenly into 45 + 72

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mathmachine2021 hmmmmmmm \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) So any idea now?

Mathmachine2021:

no its kinda confusing

P1n3appl31:

i leave this post to you guys now

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @P1n3appl31 i leave this post to you guys now \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Alright

Mathmachine2021:

is supie rare

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mathmachine2021 no its kinda confusing \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) So think back to this; \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @supie \(\LARGE\frac{45}{?}+\frac{72}{?}\) Which is the same thing as \(42÷?\) \(72÷?\) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Lets start with 42, all you have to do is find what number can go into it evenly but it has to be the biggest number possible

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mathmachine2021 is supie rare \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Wym "rare"?

Mathmachine2021:

because u mathlete

supie:

42*

supie:

So what do you think ? which answer choice best fits? @Mathmachine2021

supie:

(We're just talking about 45 right now)

Mathmachine2021:

the way you are saying it is diffrent from they way i leanred so im kinda confused

supie:

Sorry I haven't done this \(\sf 3^{rd}\) grade work in a long time

Mathmachine2021:

oh ok

Mathmachine2021:

i just wanted the awnser because im doing a small quic rn

Mathmachine2021:

quiz*

supie:

Ok so \(\LARGE\frac{45}{5}+\frac{72}{8}\) Those are the biggest numbers that can be equally divided among the numerators That is just another way of writing \(\bf 45÷5\) and \(\bf 72 \div 8\) Now do you have any idea on what the answer is?

supie:

@Mathmachine2021???

Mathmachine2021:

no

Mathmachine2021:

im just not smart

jhonyy9:

congrats @supie good job

Mathmachine2021:

but thanks supie for trying to help me

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9 congrats @supie good job \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Thanks

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mathmachine2021 but thanks supie for trying to help me \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) np

P1n3appl31:

doz i need to close this now?

supie:

yeah sure

P1n3appl31:

okay

P1n3appl31:

IT IS NOW CLOSED

Mathmachine2021:

ok

P1n3appl31:

thanks
