Let's analyze each of the given factor pairs to determine which statement is true.
1. Factors 7 and 3 for 28:
- Multiply 7 and 3:
[tex]\[
7 \times 3 = 21
\][/tex]
- Check if 21 is equal to 28:
[tex]\[
21 \neq 28
\][/tex]
- Therefore, 7 and 3 are not a factor pair of 28.
2. Factors 9 and 12 for 98:
- Multiply 9 and 12:
[tex]\[
9 \times 12 = 108
\][/tex]
- Check if 108 is equal to 98:
[tex]\[
108 \neq 98
\][/tex]
- Therefore, 9 and 12 are not a factor pair of 98.
3. Factors 2 and 9 for 16:
- Multiply 2 and 9:
[tex]\[
2 \times 9 = 18
\][/tex]
- Check if 18 is equal to 16:
[tex]\[
18 \neq 16
\][/tex]
- Therefore, 2 and 9 are not a factor pair of 16.
4. Factors 6 and 7 for 42:
- Multiply 6 and 7:
[tex]\[
6 \times 7 = 42
\][/tex]
- Check if 42 is equal to 42:
[tex]\[
42 = 42
\][/tex]
- Therefore, 6 and 7 are indeed a factor pair of 42.
From the analysis, the true statement is:
"The factors 6 and 7 are a factor pair of 42."
