Question 16 ( 5 points) Which is one way to check \( 102+6=17 ? \) A) \( 105+5=21 \) B) \( 100 \div 5=20 \) C) \( 105+10=10.5 \) D) \( 102 \div 10=10.2 \)

To check if \( 102 + 6 = 17 \) is true, we can look for a way to verify the calculation or find a related equation that helps confirm or refute it. Let's analyze the options: A) \( 105 + 5 = 21 \) - This does not relate to the original equation. B) \( 100 \div 5 = 20 \) - This does not relate to the original equation. C) \( 105 + 10 = 10.5 \) - This does not relate to the original equation. D) \( 102 \div 10 = 10.2 \) - This does not relate to the original equation. None of the options directly check the validity of \( 102 + 6 = 17 \). However, we can see that \( 102 + 6 = 108 \), which is not equal to 17. Since none of the options provide a valid check for the equation, it seems that the question may be misleading or incorrectly framed. If we had to choose one option that is mathematically correct, we would note that none of them serve the purpose of checking the original equation. However, if we are looking for a mathematical operation that is somewhat related, option D is the only one that involves division, but it does not help in checking the addition. In conclusion, none of the options effectively check \( 102 + 6 = 17 \).
