A factor tree of 60. 60 branches to 4 and 15. 4 branches to 2 and 2. 15 branches to 3 and 5.


60 = 2 × 3 × 5

Answer: he needs to finish factoring the 4s.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x15 is 60, so that is right, 3x5 is 15, so that’s is right, 2x2 is 4, so that is right, but he didn’t finish factoring. 1x1 is 2, so he should have 1 and 1 coming from each 2 on the tree. Hope this helps.
