Answer 1

Answer: D,E,F, and H

Step-by-step explanation:
1, 3, 9, and 27 are the multiples of 27 itself

It can’t be 2 because it’s not an even number

It can’t be 7 because the closest number that is a multiple of 7 is 28 and it’s one over

It can’t be 5 because it doesn’t end in 5 or 0

it can’t be 18 because 18 + 18 equals 36 and that is 9 over the original number

Answer 2

D, E, F, and H

Explanation:

D. 27/3=9

E. 27/9=3

F. 27/27=1

H. 27/1=27
