If 60 is a factor of n², then √60 is a factor of n. However, n is a whole number, so its factors are whole numbers.

Simplify √60:
\sqrt{60}=\sqrt{4 \times 15}=2\sqrt{15}

If 2√15 is a factor of a whole number n, then √15 must be another factor to make it a whole number.

2\sqrt{15} \times \sqrt{15}=2 \times 15=2 \times 3 \times 5

If 60 is a factor of n², then 2, 3, and 5 must be factors of n. The factors of n² are the squares of the factors of n, so 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 must be factors of n².

Now, if 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 are factors of n², then:
* 5×5=25 must also be its factor
* 2×2×3×3=36 must also be its factor
* 2×2×5×5=100 must also be its factor

Only 16 may not be a factor of n². The answer is A.

Everytime Tish goes to a coffee shop she either buys a soy latte or an iced coffee. In one month she spent a total of $79.10. If
natka813 [3]
S + c = 79.10
s = 3.50 + 3c

3.50 + 3c + c = 79.10
3c + c = 79.10 - 3.50
4c = 75.60
c = 75.60/4
c = 18.90 <==== amount spent on coffee

s = 3.50 + 3(18.90)
s = 3.50 + 56.70
s = 60.20 <=== amount spent on soy lattes
