Answer:
The espression 8(2m - 3) shows the length and the width of the rectangle ⇒ D
Explanation:
Let us find the greatest common factor of 16 and 24
∵ 16 = 1 × 16, 2 × 8, 4 × 4
∴ The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
∵ 24 = 1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6
∴ The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
→ Find the common factors of 16 and 24
∵ The common factor of 16 and 24 are 1, 2, 4, 8
∵ The greatest one is 8
∴ The greatest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8
→ Take 8 as a common factor from 16m and 24
∵ 16m ÷ 8 = 2m
∵ 24 ÷ 8 = 3
∴ 16m - 24 = 8(2m - 3)
∴ The espression 8(2m - 3) shows the length and the width of
the rectangle
