c. All numbers that can be divided by both 2 and 3 are divisible by 6.

[tex]\sf\large\bold{Why?}[/tex]

So we're going to use a number that is divisible by 2 and 3 which is 48. So, 48 is divisible by 2 because we can get a whole number if we divide them.

= 48 ÷ 2 = 24

And, if we try to divide 48 by 3, we can get a whole number again if we divide them.

= 48 ÷ 3 = 16

Now, let's try to divide 48 by 6, to see if all the numbers that can be divided by 2 and 3 are divisible by 6.

= 48 ÷ 6 = 8

So, our answer is correct!

I'll try to give you 1 example.

Example:

Number We're Going to Use:

42

Let's start!

First, let's divide 42 by 2 first to confirm if 42 is divisible by 2.

= 42 ÷ 2 = 21

Okay, so we got a whole number, that means, 42 is divisible by 2. Now, try to divide 42 by 3.

= 42 ÷ 3 = 14

Now, for the confirmation, divide 42 by 6 to confirm if our answer is correct.

= 42 ÷ 6 = 7

Alright! We got a whole number! That means, our answer is correct!

Additional Knowledge!

If you think that all numbers that are divisible by 3 are also divisible by 9, you're wrong. Some numbers that are divisible by 3 are also divisible by 9, not all are divisible by 9.

Say for example, let's try to divide 42 by 9.

= 42 ÷ 9 = 4.6666666667

Okay, so as you can see, we get a non-terminating quotient so 42 is not divisible by 9.

I hope this answer helps you.
