Question

Use deductive reasoning to write a conclusion:

"If the sum of the digits of an integer is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3. The sum of the digits of 46,125 is 18, which is divisible by 3."

Answer 1

The sum of the digits of 46,125 is 18, which is divisible by 3, then 46,125 is divisible by 3. 

Answer 2

Answer: According to deductive reasoning, the conclusion would be that 46,125 is divisible by 3.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

"If the sum of the digits of an integer is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.

The sum of the digits of 46,125 is 18, which is divisible by 3.

Since the above statement states that if sum of digit is divisible then, the number is also divisible.

So, According to deductive reasoning, the conclusion would be that 46,125 is divisible by 3.
