Which rule is correct?
- A.
3: Look at the last digit and it must be a multiple of 3.
- B.
4: Add the numbers and it must be a multiple of 4.
- C.
6: The rules of 2 and 3 must apply.
- D.
2: The last digit must be a 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
Correct Answer
C. 6: The rules of 2 and 3 must apply.Explanation
The correct answer is 6: The rules of 2 and 3 must apply. This rule is correct because it combines the rules of both 2 and 3. The rule of 2 states that the last digit must be 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, while the rule of 3 states that the last digit must be a multiple of 3. By combining these two rules, the rule of 6 is formed, which requires the last digit to satisfy both conditions.Rate this question:

- D.
7 is not a factor of 15.
Correct Answer
D. 7 is not a factor of 15.Explanation
The statement "7 is not a factor of 15" is correct because when we divide 15 by 7, we get a remainder of 1. This means that 7 does not evenly divide into 15, making it not a factor.Rate this question:
