The following are common multiples for which pairs of numbers?

72, 108, 180

A. 3 and 8
B. 4 and 7
C. 6 and 8
D. 9 and 12

D 9 an d12

Step-by-step explanation:

D: 9 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I worked out the soultion is by seeing if they are multiples, how I did that was simply by going on to a multiples chart or calculator and seeing if 9 and 12 each had the numbers 72, 108, and 180 on them and once I did I knew that was the answer. The other answers did have at least one of the numbers as an answer but they didn't have all three, the only one that did was answer D.

You already have the multiplication concept down:   the area of a rectangle is base x height, or in other words 8 x 4 = 32.  however, it says "each side of the court is a rectangle" which means there are 2 rectangles. one rectangle thats 8x4 meters on one side, and another that is 8x4 meters on the other. s, you would have to do 32 + 32 = 64.  to use the distributive property, you have to look at the problem like this:   one side of the entire court is 4+4. the other side of the entire court is 8. to use the distributive property, do 8(4+4).  distribute  8 x 4= 32  8 x 4= 32  32 + 32 = 64, your answer.
