Answer:

option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

alright, ima explain each option.

1. "smallest odd numbers" 2 is an even number. that's out of the playing field.

2. "add up to 10" sure, they do add up to 10, but finding prime and composite numbers are all about division and multiplication.

3. this is true. 2, 3, and 5 are all prime numbers, and they have the nice divisibility rules. [ for 2, it has to be even, for 5, it has to end in 0 or 5, and 3 has to have the sum of its digits being divisible by 3. ]

4. they do multiply to 30, but this does not help break the composite numbers down.

5. we cannot make every number with just these. we can not multiply any other whole number to get 7 for per example, because it's a prime number.

Write down all of the #'s on a piece of paper
18,23,15,16,15,17,22,16,19,11,24,14,12,16,20,18,14,13,21,11

Put them in order
11,11,12,13,1414,15,15,16,16,16,17,18,18,19,20,21,22
Cross em off on eah side until you reach the middle
16, 16
Since there's 2 instead of 1 middle # Add up the 2 (16+16 = 32)
Then divide by 2 (32/2 = 16)

You're answer is 16
