Whole numbers are positive numbers without decimals. First, list all the whole number factors of 36:

1 and 36

2 and 18

3 and 12

4 and 9

6 and 6

Next, see which one of those pairs has the highest sum:

1+36=37

2+18=20

3+12=15

4+9=13

6+6=12

The greatest possible sum the numbers can have is 37.

Hope this helps!!

Alrighty, so, 9 less hints to subtract. The product of 37 and x means that you're multiplying 37 and x. Therefore, I believe the answer that you're looking for is 37x-9.

Hope this helps! (:

How could you find an even better estimate of the square root of 2

vodomira [7]

Answer:

First of all you need to know the $\sqrt {4}$ it's equal to 2 and

$\sqrt {1}$ which is the number is between 1 and 2 and between that number there maybe the possibilities of above 0.5 or under 0.5

After that Figure out which one was bigger? $\sqrt {2}$ or $\sqrt {3}$ ? The answer is $\sqrt {3}$ and $\sqrt {3}$ also near to $\sqrt {4}$ so it should be above 0.5 .
