Question

60 + 15 using the distributive property with the greatest common factor located in front of the parentheses

Answer 1

The greatest common factor of 60 and 15 is 15. Therefore, we can use the distributive property with 15 located in front of the parentheses as follows:

60 + 15 = 15 x 4 + 15 x 1

= 15(4 + 1)

= 15 x 5

= 75

Therefore, 60 + 15 = 75 using the distributive property with the greatest common factor located in front of the parentheses.
