compare your answers from parts A and B. What connections can you make between the size and number of squares in part A and the prime factors in part B?

Answ

Step-by-step explanation:

In part A, 6 squares made up of 4 units represented an area of 24. In part B, the prime factorization of 24 gave 24 = 2 ∙ 2 · 2 · 3, which is equal to 4 · 6. So, the factor that is a perfect square, in this case 4, determines the size of squares needed for the visual model, and the other factor, 6, determines the number of squares of that size.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
