Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
The GCF of 4 and 16 is 4.
[tex] \frac{4}{4} = 1 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{16}{4} = 4 [/tex]
We can rewrite this using the distribute property like so:
[tex] 4(1 + 4)[/tex]
Using the distribute property:
[tex] = 4 + 16[/tex]
[tex] = 20[/tex]
We can also add inside the parentheses and multiply we'll get the same answer.
[tex] = 4(5) \\= 20[/tex]
