Question

Which expression shows 27 + 36 as the product of their greatest common factor and the sum of two whole numbers with no common factor?

A) 7(3+6)7(3+6) ​

​B) 9(4+5)9(4+5) ​

​C) 9(3+4)9(3+4) ​

D)​ 7(4+5)7(4+5) ​

Answer 1

b is the answer, i think it is at least.

Answer 2

Option C.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`27+36`

We need to express 27 + 36 as the product of their greatest common factor and the sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.

Factors of each term,

`27=3* 3* 3`

`36=2* 2* 3* 3`

`GCF(27,36)=3* 3=9`

The given expression can be rewritten as

`9* 3+9* 4`

Taking ou GCF,

`9(3+4)`

Therefore, the correct option is C.
