Answer:

257 is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate if a number is prime, we just need to evaluate it for the prime numbers that are equal or lesser than the said number's square root.

In this case, √257 = 16.03 so we just need to see if 257 is divisible by <u>2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13</u> (the prime numbers that come before 16)

  • 257 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2.
  • The sum of its digits is 14, therefore, it is not divisible by 3.
  • 257 ends in 7, therefore it's not divisible by 5.
  • 257/ 7 = 36.71 so it's not divisible by 7.
  • 257/ 11 = 23.36 so it's not divisible by 11
  • Finally 257 / 13= 19.76 so it's not divisible by 13.

Therefore, 257 is prime.

If line segment AB represents ​25%, what is the length of a line segment that is​ 100%?
kicyunya [14]

If I am correctly understanding the question, I think the length of the line segment would be 4AB

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 1/4

AB = 1/4

100% = 4/4

AB*4 = 4AB

Multiply AB by 4 to find the value that 100% would equal, resulting in 4AB.
