Answer:

1: C) Yes, because the last digit is 6, which is divisible by 2

2: B) Yes, because the sum of 2+1+6=9, which is divisible by 3

3: C) Yes, because the last digit of the number is 0

Explanation:

Let's start with the first one. Is 26 divisible by 2? Yes, it is, because the last digit is 6, which is divisible by 2. To check to make sure we are right, we simply divide 26 by 2. Can it be done? Yes, 26 divided by 2 is 13, so we are right.

What about number two? Is 216 divisible by 3? Well, the rules divisiblity rules change for 3. For three, the sum of the digits of the number must be divisible by three. Do 2, 1, and 6, when added together, equal a number that is divisible by 3? Well, 2+1+6 is 9, and 9 is divisible by three, so the answer is B.

For the last one we need to check the divisibility rule for ten. The rule is that if the number ends in 0, it is divisible by 10. Does 40,100 end in a zero? Yes, so the answer is C.
