Let's solve this step-by-step.
Understanding the Task:
We are given sets of three numbers in cloud shapes. In each set,
one number is a multiple of the other two. We need to:
1. Identify which number is the
multiple (i.e., divisible by the other two).
2. Color that number (in this case, we'll just identify it).

Key Concept:
A
multiple of two numbers means that when you divide the larger number by the other two, there is
no remainder.
So, for example, if we have numbers A, B, and C, and say C is a multiple of A and B, then:
- C ÷ A = whole number
- C ÷ B = whole number

🎯 Summary:
In every group, the
largest number is usually the multiple (but not always — but here it is). The key is checking divisibility.
You should
color the number that is the multiple in each cloud.
