Hi, What is the lowest positive integer greater than 1, which when divided by 5 or 8 leaves a remainder of 1

1 answer:

3 0

Very interesting question!

Let's try to get something that would work for just 5 for now.
Any of these numbers would leave a remainder of 1 when divided by just 5:
6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, ...
Notice that they all look like 5*(something) + 1. Basically, they are all multiples of 5 plus 1.

Let's see what would work for just 8:
9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 73, 81, 89, ...

Are there any matches... AHA! It's 81. This is the lowest positive integer greater than 1 that follows the rule for both 5 and 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

340/25 = 13.6 = 13 hours and 10 min

30 x 13.6 = 408 hours

25x+30y= 340 and y=2x can be used to determine the number of hours cooper worked and the number of hours isaiah worked. Where x Isaiah 's working hours and y is cooper's working hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isaiah ironing rate per hour = 25 shirts

Cooper ironing rate per hour = 30 shirts

Total shirts pressed = 340

Let,

Isaiah´s number of hours = x

Cooper's number of hours = y

According to given statement;

25x+30y=340 Eqn 1

Hudson worked twice many hours as grace.

y = 2x Eqn 2
