Answer:
he correct answer is d) 16 + 56. This sum can be expressed as 8(2 + 7) since both equal 72.
Explanation:
To find out which of the given sums can be expressed as 8(2 + 7), let's simplify 8(2 + 7):
8(2 + 7) = 8 * 9 = 72
Now, let's check the options:
a) 2 + 56 = 58 ≠ 72
b) 10 + 15 = 25 ≠ 72
c) 16 + 7 = 23 ≠ 72
d) 16 + 56 = 72
So, the correct answer is d) 16 + 56. This sum can be expressed as 8(2 + 7) since both equal 72.
