Which expression shows 36 + 63 as the product of their greatest common factor and the sum of two whole numbers with no common factor? a. 11(3 + 6) b. 9(4 + 7) c. 11(4 + 5) d. 3(15 + 18)

Hey!

Hope this helps...

The first thing we know is that all the answers equal 99, so we cannot cross any answer off, however, what we want to know is what answer (after distribution) looks like 36 + 63...

A.) 11(3 + 6) > 33 + 66

Does 33+66 look like 36+63?

NO

B.) 9(4 + 7) > 36 + 63

Does 36+63 look like 36+63?

YES

C.) 11(4 + 5) > 44 + 55

Does 44+55 look like 36+63?

NO

D.) 3(15 + 18) > 45 + 54

Does 45+54 look like 36+63?

NO

So...

The answer is: B.) 9(4 + 7)

step-by-step explanation:

do you have a copy of the table?

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
