To complete the statement, we need to determine the number of terms and factors in the expression abc + def.
To determine the number of terms, we count the number of separate entities being added together. In this case, we have two separate entities, abc and def, being added together. Thus, the expression consists of 2 terms.
To determine the number of factors in each term, we count the individual quantities being multiplied together within each term. In the term abc, there are 3 separate factors: a, b, and c. In the term def, there are also 3 separate factors: d, e, and f. Therefore, each term contains 3 factors.
Therefore, the statement can be completed as follows:
The expression consists of 2 terms, and each term contains 3 factors.
