Answer:

Aida did not correctly divide by the common factor to get (4 + 8).

Answer:

B). Aida did not correctly divide by the common factor to get (4 + 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Aida applied the distributive property to write the equivalent expressions given as

15 + 21 = 3(4 + 8)

But Aida made a mistake.

Since to get the common factor of 15 and 21 she did not divide these numbers by 3 correctly.

In simple words by division of 3 in 15 and 21, we get 5 and 7 instead of 5 and 8.

Therefore, Aida did not correctly divide by the common factor to get (4 + 8). ⇒ option B is the correct answer.
