Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.

8. Sven sells hamburgers at a ballpark. He earns $14.50/h, plus $0.50
Komok [63]

Answer:

Part A: $55.50

Part B: 52 hamburgers(sorry if I am wrong for part b but I think it is right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:     $14.50 x 3= $43.50  +         24 x $0.50= $12=        

 ($ earned per hrs  x hrs worked)+  ($ per hamburger sold x times amount)

Hence $43.50 + $12= $55.50.

Part B:        $14.50 x 6.5 = $94.25                           $120 - $94.25= $25.75

 ($ earned per hrs  x hrs worked x x hrs worked)   ($ earned - $ earn from shif

 $25.75/0.50=51.5 (51.5 rounded to nearest burgers is 52 burgers)

Hence answer is 52 burgers.
