Answer:

  4 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

You want integer solutions to ...

  15 ≤ n(n+1) ≤ 200

If we let the limits be represented by "a", then the equality is represented by ...

  n² +n -a = 0

  (n² +n +1/4) -a -1/4 = 0

  (n +1/2)^2 = (a +1/4)

  n = -1/2 + √(a +1/4)

For a=15, we have

  n ≥ -1/2 + √15.25 ≈ 3.4 . . . . . minimum n is 4

For a=200, we have

  n ≤ -1/2 + √200.25 ≈ 13.7 . . . maximum n is 13

The least and greatest integers on the cards are 4 and 13.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 56 is 14

1/4 ice cream + 1/4 cookies is 28

1/8 of 56 is 7 so 7×3 =21

28+21=49

49+7=56

You divide the total number by the denominator so like 56÷8 is 7 and 56÷4 is 14.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount the youngest sister gets

x + (x+5) + (x+10) + (x+15) + (x+20) = 100

5x + 50 = 100

5x = 50

x = 10
