The product of any two numbers is composite ( true/false) and why?

1 answer:

7 0

FALSE.
A composite number is the opposite of a prime number. This is false because of the possibility of the following scenario:
The two numbers are 1 and a prime number.
This is because one multiplied by any number is that number. A prime number cannot become a composite number just because it is being multiplied by one. For example:
1 x 7 = 7 (prime)
Hope this helps!

harina [27]

Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal

As per the statement: Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the tank. Once the new tank is in, it will cost her $72.96

Let the tank size now be x

Since, the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons = x + 10

by definition of proportion ;

$\frac{x}{42.56}=\frac{x+10}{72.96}$
