Question

Which equation can be used to find one multiple of 16? 16 ÷ 8 = 2 16 ÷ 4 = 4 16 × 0 = 0 16 × 2 = 32

Answer 1

Answer: Last option.

Explanation:

Since you want to find one multiple of 16, you must multiply it by an integer. This integer cannot be zero.

Therefore:

- The equation shown in the first option cannot be used to find a multiple of 16.

- The equation shown in the second option cannot be used to find a multiple of 16.

- The equation shown in the third option cannot be used to find a multiple of 16.

- The equation shown in the fourth option can be used to find a multiple of 16:

`16*2=32`

Answer 2

16 × 2 = 32

Explanation:

Since you want a multiple, you can ignore anything with a "divided by" symbol in it.

0 is a multiple of anything, so is considered a "trivial" or "degenerate" case. Usually, that is not of interest.

Multiplying 16 by 2 will give a multiple of 16, as will multiplying 16 by any other non-zero integer.
