12
16
24
48​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 I think........?....

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we just have to try with all of them:

• 12/4=3
• 12/8=1,5

Then it is not divisible (it is not integer). This proves the statement false.

Let's try with the others as well, just to check:

• 16/4=4
• 16/8=2

• 24/4=6
• 24/8=3

• 48/4=12
• 48/8=6

All the others don't prove false that statement.
