As a punishment for something naughty that we did, my little brother and I have to whitewash both sides of a fence. We start at
the same time, and we each work at a constant rate. If we each whitewash one side, I'll finish in $2$ hours and my brother will finish in $3$ hours. But I'm a nice kid, so after I finish my side, I go around to the other side and help my brother finish his side. From the time I start helping him, how many minutes does it take us to finish the job?
How many 10 - digit numbers are there, such that the sum of the digits is divisible by 2?
Answer:
There are 4500000000 ten digit numbers whose sum is divisible by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with 10 digit numbers, the first 10 digit number whose sum is divisible by 2 is; 1000000001.
While the last 10 digit number whose sum is divisible by 2 is 9999999999.
Now,to find how many 10 digit numbers whose sum are divisible by 2, we will simply divide the difference of both numbers by 2 and then add 1 to the answer. This is because subtracting the minimum from the maximum gives us the number of 10 digit numbers we have. Then dividing by 2 gives the number of ten digit numbers with sum divisible by 2 in between. Then adding 1 to the result to cover the number not included gives;
