Question

At a family reunion, a family friend bring 20 lb of ice and 30 cup. Which expression show the greatest common factor , using distribute property of 20 and 30?

Answer 1

10(2+3)

Explanation:

We are given that

Ice=20 lb

Cup=30

We have to find the expression which shows the greatest common factor using distributive property of 20 and 30.

We know that distributive property of integers a,b and c

`a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c`

`20=2* 10`

`30=3* 10`

`10(2+3)=10* 2+10* 3`

Hence, the highest common factor of 20 and 30=10

Expression:10(2+3)
