Answer 1

kinda disrespectful someone didn't answer this but anyway..

Without an explanation your answer is 7

W/ an explanation:

___________________________________

7 should be removed from the list because all the other numbers can multiply to 48

1 x 48   ✔

2 x 24  ✔

3 x 16   ✔

4 x 12   ✔

6 x 8    ✔

7 x ?     ❌

Thus, 7 is left with nothing to multiply by besides itself which would give you 47 but the number we have the list of is 48. So 7 is your number to remove from the list.
