Question

Use the Distributive Property to express
24 + 36

Answer 1

12(2 + 3)

Explanation:

To use the distributive property, we must find a common factor between the two numbers. The greatest common factor or 24 and 36 is 12. Let's just use that. We get:

`12(2+3) = 24+36`

That's our answer!

Answer 2

12 ( 2 + 3 )= + 36

Step-by-step explanation: GCF between 24 and 36 by prime factorization should be:

24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3. what they both have in common between the prime factorization of both of the numbers are 2*2*3 which is GCF and equivlent to 12.
