Answer: A) 65 + 653 = 718. There is only one possibility
B) 12 + 123 = 135. There is only one possibility
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Given the numbers 2, 3, 6, 5 and 1.
To create a two digit and three digit number that will have the greatest sum, it implies the numbers created are the greatest themselves.
From the numbers given, the two digit number is 65 and the three digit number is 653.
Sum: 653+65= 718
B) Same applies here, to create the smallest sum of two and three digit numbers, the numbers created must be the smallest possible.
They are 12 and 123
Sum: 123+12= 135.
In both cases there will be only one possibility since the term greatest and smallest means nothing is bigger than it and lesser than it respectively.
