Which is NOT a factor pair for 60? A) (2, 30) B) (3, 20) C) (4, 12) D) (6, 10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Correct Answer: C) (4, 12)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To determine which is not<\/strong> a factor pair of 60, we must first understand what a factor pair<\/strong> is. A factor pair of a number consists of two whole numbers that, when multiplied together, give the original number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this case, we are checking which of the given pairs multiply to 60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s evaluate each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The complete factor pairs<\/strong> of 60 are: (1,60), (2,30), (3,20), (4,15), (5,12), (6,10)(1, 60),\\ (2, 30),\\ (3, 20),\\ (4, 15),\\ (5, 12),\\ (6, 10)(1,60), (2,30), (3,20), (4,15), (5,12), (6,10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notice that 4 is a factor of 60, and so is 15. But 12 is not the corresponding pair<\/strong> for 4 because: 4\u00d712=48(Not 60)4 \\times 12 = 48 \\quad \\text{(Not 60)}4\u00d712=48(Not 60)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, although 4 is a factor of 60, pairing it with 12 is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option C) (4, 12)<\/strong> is not a factor pair of 60<\/strong> because 4 \u00d7 12 = 48, not 60. All the other options are valid factor pairs since their products equal 60.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Which is NOT a factor pair for 60?

2\u00d730=602 \\times 30 = 602\u00d730=60 \u2714
\u2705 This is a correct factor pair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3\u00d720=603 \\times 20 = 603\u00d720=60 \u2714
\u2705 This is also a correct factor pair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
4\u00d712=484 \\times 12 = 484\u00d712=48 \u274c
\ud83d\udeab This does not<\/strong> equal 60. So (4, 12) is not<\/strong> a factor pair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
6\u00d710=606 \\times 10 = 606\u00d710=60 \u2714
\u2705 This is a correct factor pair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAdditional Clarification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
