Determine whether the statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning.
3+2/3
I simplified
to 3+ V3 because 2 is a factor of 2/3.
2
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The statement does not make sense because the numerator must be factored before dividing the numerator
and denominator by the greatest common factor. The simplification should be 6+ V3.
B. The statement does not make sense becau
the numerator must be factored before dividing the
and denominator by the greatest common factor. The given expression cannot be simplified.
merator
C. The statement makes sense because the greatest common factor of 2 in the numerator and denominator can
be divided out.
D. The statement makes sense because any expression with an even number in the denominator can always be
simplified.
