An integer may be a multiple of 3.
An integer may be 1 greater than a multiple of 3.
An integer may be 2 greater than a multiple of 3.

It is redundant to say an integer is 3 greater than a multiple of 3 (that's just a multiple of 3, we've got it covered).  Same for 4, 5, 6, 7...

Let's consider a number which is a multiple of 3.  Clearly, we can write 3+3+3+3+... until we reach the number.  It can be written as only 3's.

Let's consider a number which is 2 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract 5 from that number, it'll be a multiple of 3.  That means we can write the number as 5+3+3+3+3+...  Of course, the number must be at least 8.

Let's consider a number which is 1 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract 5 from that number, it'll be 2 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract another 5, it'll be a multiple of 3.  That means we can write the number as 5+5+3+3+3+3+...  Of course, the number must be at least 13.

That's it.  We considered all the numbers.  We forgot 9, 10, 11, and 12, but these are easy peasy.

Beautiful question.

Joe drives 20 mi-in 1/2 h. how Long Will it take him to derive 50 mi?
tiny-mole [99]
An hour and 15 minutes.  Since Joe is driving 20 miles per 1/2 hour that means he is driving 40 miles every hour. We still have 10 miles left and since 20 divided by 2 is ten you would simply cut the time it takes him to drive 20 miles in half making 15 minutes. Then you add the time it takes to drive 40 miles and 10 miles and that's how you get an hour and 15 minutes. Hope this made sense!
